NORAD Tracks Santa wouldn't have started if not for a typo appearing on a newspaper ad back in 1955. The ad was placed on behalf of Sears, purporting to be from Santa himself.
"HEY KIDDIES! Call me on my private phone and I will talk to you personally any time day or night," the ad read.
The ad published the wrong phone number, which directed to a top-secret CONAD (the predecessor to NORAD) line reserved for reporting a crisis. On duty was Colonel Harry Shoup, who received a call from a child looking for Santa Claus.
Shoup, initially thinking it was a prank, was incensed. But after realising it was indeed from a child, Shoup decided to play along as Santa.
Then, more calls from children came in, thus beginning a long holiday tradition that's persevered to this day. Even if all in the White House is not well.
