Too Cool! Nice work, I'll bet the kids will get a kick out of tracking Santa via the payphone 
Do y'all actually have snow, or is that artificial. Cuz it looks like real snow.

it will autodial NORAD Tracks Santa for our neighborhood Children,  and we will be giving away Candy Canes. 

When I was a kid, NORAD tracking Santa was a little different.
The local 5:00 news would announce a breaking report that  NORAD picked up an incoming unidentified signal,
They would show footage of Jets being scrambled,
Once the target was identified as Santa , The jets  would escort him thru-out  North America.

On the 10:00 news they would update that Santa was reaching our area soon. That meant it was bedtime.

BTW the Santa graphics were very cheesy at the time, but it sure was cool !!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NORAD tracking Santa started because a child  mis-dialed a local Santa number  and reached a NORAD operator. The operator said he was one of Santa's elves. The following year was when the NORAD Santa project started. I think it was just a local  thing for the first few years
I am glad you are are providing a cool way to track Santa.


MERRY CHRISTMAS to all,
Jim

When my kids were younger, and we're too excited to go to bed, I would tune into the local Sheriffs frequency and they would have periodic announcements as to Santa's were abouts broad cast, and I would tell the kids he's very close, so we need to all get in bed because he knows if we're sleeping or awake..
It worked, they would run to their beds and climb in, my wife or I would tuck them in and say we're going to bed too, see you in the morning..
Ah the old days, now they are almost teenagers how they grow so fast.

Mighty nice.  Another occasion that it's unfortunate there is no "like" feature here.
