US-Canada Military Tradition Started Due to a Publishing Mistake

Inquirer reports that this US-Canada Military tradition started when a newspaper advertisement printed a phone number to connect the children to Santa but mistakenly directed them to the hotline for military service.

The US-Canada military did not want to disappoint the children. Thus, the NORAD’s director of operations during that time, Colonel Harry Shoup, ordered his troops to check the radar to see where Old Saint Nick might be and update the children on his location.
