StoryCorps Shorts: Operation North Pole

A merry mission to track Santa Claus.

Every Christmas Eve, people worldwide use NORAD's Santa Tracker to follow Santa Claus as he flies across the globe to deliver presents. The merry mission started during the Cold War, when Air Force Colonel Harry Shoup received an unexpected call on his red phone — a top secret hotline at his base. Three of his children share the tale of how their father spread cheer across the world.
