One of the best days of the year is finally here! The final gingerbread houses and cookies will be made. Those beautiful outfits you searched all over for will be worn and all those family pictures will be taken. Problem is the celebrations won’t start until the end of the day, yet the hope-filled, present-wishing children only have one thing on their mind-SANTA!

Where is he? What part of the world do you think he is in? The Official NORAD Santa Tracker tells you exactly where he is. You can see him flying around the world, learn where he just was and where his next stop will be. There are other options for viewing: zoom in/out and all around the world, full screen, 2D, click on the camera icon on the map to learn about that location and the video camera icon. The last option allows you to move the globe around to see other countries and oceans that are nearby. Just like that a geography lesson is born! Have you traveled to any of those places on the map? Share your pictures and stories with your kids. Has you child read a story about those far off lands-pull those books back out and reread them.
