NORAD’s holiday tradition can by traced to 1955, when a Colorado Springs newspaper printed a Sears Roebuck ad telling children of a phone number to talk to Santa. The number for the “Santa hot line” was one digit off, and instead the first child to get through got the Continental Air Defense Command, NORAD’s predecessor. (AP Photo/NASA)
