Thanks to NORAD, children young and old can keep track of Santa Claus as he journeys around the world toward Michigan.
For 364 days out of the year, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) spends its time tracking airplanes, missiles, space ships—anything flying near the United States and Canada. But on Christmas Eve, a team of volunteers spends the night tracking a very special pilot: Santa Claus. "We are the only organization that has the technology, the qualifications and the people to do it," NORAD said on its website. "NORAD tracks Santa, but only Santa knows his route, which means we cannot predict where and when he will arrive at your house."

Santa is scheduled to arrive at 7 p.m. to …

Just discovered this site through an 8 year old's eyes on Christmas Eve. It was so cool. While we watched Santa's progress, we clicked on all the green video cameras and had a history and geography lesson from those as well. Great website!!   more ›
