They show Santa's progress on radar on our local evening news during the weather report - thanks for providing that link.  |

I miss doing the NORAD tracks Santa thing. My old unit used to volunteer as part of the phone bank. We had to be on watch anyway, but it was really cool talking to excited little kids on Christmas Eve.

there's a group of retired business owners in my town that does "Santa Calling" every year they ask for one dollar donation and the parent fills out a form of when the best time to call your child, what are their sibling's names, pets, school, etc. It was always great when the kids were little and "Santa" called them.
I still send about five to ten dollars to them, since they use that money to buy presents for other kids, even though my kids are older. For a couple of years I helped out either ringer bells in the background or acting as an telephone operator. It was so much fun!

The program is really low key, and it's usually only sent out to members or those in the community that know about them. Unfortunately, I think that a lot of people miss out on the wonderful things they do, but that is how the organization is it. They do a lot of good, but it is mostly anonymously.
