Santa Claus flew over Taiwan’s skies on Christmas Eve, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). This tradition, dating back to 1955, began when a local newspaper misprinted a Santa hotline number, leading to NORAD’s predecessor’s number being inundated with calls from curious children. Rather than disappoint, the command started reporting Santa’s location. This year, Santa departed from the North Pole in a sleigh with the call-sign ＂HOHOHO,＂ flying over Japan, Korea, China, and finally Taiwan. NORAD shares Santa’s flight trajectory, destinations, times, and the number of gifts distributed on their official website each Christmas Eve. They also rely on 1,100 to 1,200 volunteers to answer calls from children worldwide, receiving up to 260,000 calls in 2022. Platforms like Google and Flightradar24 also offer trackers to keep up with Santa’s movements.

今（25）日是一年一度的耶誕節，許多人也聽過耶誕老人（Santa Claus）會在耶誕節前夕駕雪橇給小孩送禮的神話，然而心理學家發現，對大多數孩子而言，大約8歲開始就會懷疑耶誕老人不是真的。

大家都知道英式英語和美式英語有許多不同，但你知道嗎？甚至大家從小到大都稱為Santa Claus的耶誕老人，其實應該要稱為Father Christmas才「夠英國」。
