During the partial government shutdown, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) will still run its famed “Santa tracker” during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
“In the event of a government shutdown, NORAD will continue with its 63-year tradition of NORAD Tracks Santa on Dec. 24. Military personnel who conduct NORAD Tracks Santa are supported by approximately 1,500 volunteers who make the program possible each and every year,” NORAD tweeted on Dec. 21.
