NORAD Tracking Santa

I see on the news that NORAD is tracking Santa Claus this Christmas Eve. During a government shutdown NORAD still gets funding for tracking Santa Claus, when other agencies do not get funded? Well, this really shows where our government's priorities lie: spying. They're tracking Santa Claus's activities, probably covertly via satellite. Do they have a warrant for this surveillance activity? They probably already know what Santa is bringing them for Christmas too, those cheaters. I want a congressional investigation!
