Santa has already started his busy trip around the world. If you want to follow his journey, have a look here NORAD tracks Santa

This is a tradition stretching back half a century, though the use of the Internet is new. NORAD is otherwise a joint US-Canadian defence operation which monitors the skies of North America.

If you want to read more about how this delightful tradition began, here's the story How it began.

Of course we know that Santa is still at the North Pole, having not started on his journey yet, but NORAD's site has a countdown and some games to play while you (or more likely, your children) are waiting. NORAD and Santa I tried out some of the games and was hopeless, but I imagine the kids will do better!

Loved this Mona...............my kids are old enough to have been amongst those who would 'phone NORAD and ask where Santa was, to be given his exact (they thought) position by a very patient American voice on the other end.

It was just so much fun at the time, now it is even more spectacular, have often given this link out over the years because it just adds to the magic of Christmas for the little ones.

A super idea to post it.

We may not be able to follow him, but somebody will!
