This holiday weekend winter storm isn’t slowing down Saint Nick, who’s planning for his annual global trip Christmas Eve.

And the  military agency known for tracking incoming aerial threats to North America is once again tracking Santa Claus.

This year, NORAD plans to have about 1,500 volunteers working on Christmas Eve to field phone calls from children who want to know Santa’s location and delivery schedule.

Norad’s holiday tradition began in 1955 after a kid mistakenly called a Colorado military commander, asking to speak to Santa.
