Follow Santa Around The World With The NORAD Santa Tracker

Christmas is almost here! Santa is resting up now, but soon he'll be delivering presents to boys and girls all around the world. 

The kids can watch Santa on his long journey with the 2016 Official NORAD Santa Tracker. Explore new games every day in the arcade, listen to Santa's favorite songs on the music stage, and in the Library, they can learn about Santa, his magic sleigh, and holiday traditions.

This is General Paul Selva, the 10th Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the nation’s second-highest-ranking military officer confirming that Santa and his reindeer are ready to go.

"the reindeer have been fed their quantity of oats and are prepared for the delivery of all of those gifts to those who have been nice and not naughty,"

Wikipedia says the program began on December 24, 1955, when a Sears department store placed an advertisement in a Colorado Springs newspaper that told children that they could telephone Santa Claus and included a number for them to call. However, the telephone number printed was misprinted, and calls instead came through to Colorado Springs' Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Center. Colonel Harry Shoup, who was on duty that night, told his staff to give all children who called in a "current location" for Santa Claus. A tradition began which continued when the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) replaced CONAD in 1958
