Adults, Kids Can Track Santa's Progress Christmas Eve

Track St. Nick's every move throughout the day with the NORAD Santa tracker right here on Patch.


Answer the question on your kids' holiday-focused minds Christmas Eve — how close is Santa...right now?

NORAD, the The North American Aerospace Command, will be tracking the Jolly Old Elf's airborne sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, with Rudolph rounding out the nine Rangifer tarandus (Caribou to the laymen)  propulsion team.

Check back here tomorrow at noon, when we'll have a brief history of NORAD's 50-year tradition, and a window straight to the Santa tracker so you and your family can track Saint Nick throughout the day as he crosses the globe en route to our neck of the woods.
