Time to Track Santa Claus on His Global Journey

As of 8 a.m. Monday morning Santa Claus was in Canberra, Australia after delivering the goods to kids in the South Pacific Islands.

It's easy to track the jolly man's path thanks to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) which is charged with keeping the United States and Canada safe from dangers originating from the sky or space.

On Christmas Eve, however, the Colorado-based government agency adds one more important task to its daily list of duties.

The agency will again provide its Official Santa Tracker that marks The Big Man's every move as he makes his way throughout both hemispheres.

Included on the site is a countdown and activity page and a flight-tracking system.

Kids and adults could enjoy this very entertaining site, which will have sugar plums dancing through everyone's head before retiring. It features a holiday countdown, games and daily activities, video messages from students around the world, and more. The website is available in eight languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Chinese.

Trackers worldwide can speak with a live phone operator to inquire as to Santa’s whereabouts by dialing the toll-free number 1-877-Hi-NORAD (1-877-446-6723) or by sending an email to noradtrackssanta@outlook.com. NORAD’s “Santa Cams” will also stream videos as Santa makes his way over various locations.
