a child's 1st lie

Why do we teach our children to think that lying is OK?

On Christmas Eve this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will help the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) track Santa Claus. NOAA will maintain a satellite watch of the North Pole for weather conditions and any unusual activity.

NOAA's Satellite Command and Data Acquisition Station in Fairbanks, Alaska, is ready to spot activity at the North Pole. NORAD will answer children's questions on its comprehensive, six-language. All site material, including the live tracking event, will be available in English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.

NORAD will also attempt to demonstrate its ability to confirm high flying objects and determine if it is naughty or nice. Seeing is believing -- and NORAD has perfected its 48-year-old tradition of tracking Santa on Christmas Eve. Visual and audio updates will be posted hourly on the website from 7:00 a.m., Dec. 24 EST to 5:00 a.m., Dec. 25 EST.
