NORAD'S HOLIDAY MISSION
NORAD is a military organization that was created to stop enemy planes from attacking the US and Canada. The people of this organization take their jobs very seriously. However, every Christmas Eve they take on a special mission. NORAD staff use their advanced equipment to track Santa Claus across the world so that curious children can tell when Santa is on the way. It even created a handbook to help soldiers answer questions about Santa. Thanks to NORAD’s protection, it seems certain that Santa will arrive safe and sound wherever he goes.
北美空防司令部是為阻止敵機襲擊美國及加拿大而設置的軍事機構。該組織裡的成員都相當嚴肅地看待他們的工作。然而,他們在每年的聖誕夜都有一項特別任務。北美空防司令部的人員使用他們的先進設備在全球追蹤聖誕老人,如此一來好奇的孩子便能知道聖誕老人什麼時候要來。他們甚至製作一本幫助軍人們回答關於聖誕老人問題的手冊。多虧有北美空防司令部的保護,聖誕老人不管到哪去一定都能安然無恙。
