Since 1955, the folks at North American Aerospace Defense Command (or, as it’s better known, NORAD) have kept track of a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. Coloradans were in on the tracking right from the early days with NORAD right in our backyard — Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs to be exact. In the 1950’s, curious souls had to telephone in to find out Santa’s flight path.

Hello, 2018! Now everyone can track Santa’s route (online or on their smartphone using an app) on Christmas Eve, as well as receive updates from the North Pole by checking out NORAD Tracks Santa. [Read more…] about Track Santa’s Flight on Christmas Eve

Xcel Energy is willing to pay you $50 for any second refrigerator you might own.

Xcel will recycle your fridge for FREE. They’ll even pick up the beast at no charge and give you $50.

The refrigerator must be a second unit at your home, work, and get cold enough to make ice. It must be at least 10 to 30 cubic feet and have been in the house for at least two months. As an added bonus, Xcel Energy will throw in two CFL light bulbs for you to use wherever you want. For more info call 1-866-552-8755.
