Live NORAD Santa Tracking!!
For what started as a wrong number call to the infamous red phone at NORAD back in 1955 has now grown to over 1200 volunteers to aid kids around the world track Santa on Christmas Eve. In 2007 Google got on board with special maps for both Google Maps and Google Earth. Through the Offical NORAD Santa Tracker site you can find all the different ways they track the big guy on his rounds. This business of going to the NORAD website to track Santa Claus’ trip around the World is rather cool, but for those that are lazy we decided to embed the tracker right here:
These days, of course, a single red phone isn’t enough to handle the demand for the information. In fact, said Joyce Frankovis, the public affairs specialist who runs the Santa tracking program for NORAD these days, there were fully 1,275 people involved in the project in 2008, and there would have been more had there been more room for them.
