NORAD Will Track Santa Despite Government Shutdown
However, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are closed for tours until the shutdown is resolved.
The city encourages people to follow the hashtag "#OpeninPHL" to track closures.
And yes, NORAD will still track Santa's Christmas Eve flight path despite the shutdown.
