Track Santa Claus on Christmas Eve

One modern take on Christmas that is fast becoming a tradition in our house, is tracking Santa on NORAD.

On Christmas Eve, you can log on to the NORAD website and watch Santa's progess as he makes his way across the world, delivering Christmas Gifts to all the good boys and girls as they sleep!

For most of the year, there is not much to see on the website, as Santa and his little helpers are resting before their busy season begins! Check back in December for an update!
