During the holidays, numerous United States government agencies get into the spirit of the season.

In years past, the purpose was to add a little more magic for children as well as peace on earth and good will to men.

It was also an opportunity to acquaint people with the functions of certain government agencies.

NORAD's Santa tracker has been a tradition for over 60 years.

Based on the public's reaction, "CBP gives Santa an entry VISA" should probably be a one time thing.
