NORAD has received confirmation that the special navigation panel aboard Santa's sleigh is functioning as planned. The elf staff provided no further comment or details.
In case you have never heard of the Norad Santa Tracker I wanted to share this brilliant website with you! We have tracked Santa for the last 4 years and are looking forward to an even more exciting Christmas Eve this year!
We, the Finley's, have tracked Santa using the Norad Santa Tracker for years! NORAD has been tracking Santa though for over 50 years! It started quite by accident - in 1955 after a Colorado Springs-based Sears Roebuck & Co. advertisement for children to call Santa misprinted the telephone number. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone number put kids through to the CONAD Commander-in-Chief's operations "hotline." The Director of Operations at the time, Colonel Harry Shoup, had his staff check radar for indications of Santa making his way south from the North Pole. Children who called were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born. To listen to Colonel Shoup talk about the experience, click here.
NORAD uses four high-tech systems to track Santa – radar, satellites, Santa Cams and fighter jets.
Tracking Santa starts with the NORAD radar system called the North Warning System. This powerful radar system consists of 47 installations strung across the northern border of North America. On Christmas Eve, NORAD monitors the radar continuously for indications that Santa Claus has left the North Pole.
When you visit the NORAD Santa Tracker site you will see that there is so much to do there! You can learn what the favorite snack is for reindeer, visit the North Pole to see what preparations are under way and get some great Santa FAQs!
The last year we tracked Santa we were in Titusville, Florida. We had to send a letter to Santa to let him know that we wouldn't be home in Wake Forest, NC. On Christmas Eve we placed reindeer food all around the house and then tracked Santa with the NORAD Santa Tracker! It was so cool! We got to see Santa fly over the Kennedy Space Center!
I hope that you get to visit the NORAD Santa Tracker this year and enjoy as much as we do....

Leesa,
This is always a fun thing to do at Christmas time and it really helps in getting the kids to bed before Santa comes.
Leesa, Also new this year you can track Santa on twitter - @noradsanta
Leesa - cool video, but the music was a little disturbing. Now, if only I had small children or grandchildren here this year.
don - yes, it is a cute idea! i know that we have to watch him all over the world and then if we miss a spot we have to back to the video replays.
hal - your grandkids will LOVE it!
craig - i had no idea - that is WAY too funny! However, you know i'll have to follow him!
mike - yes, the music is a little manic! kind of like santa meets the nutcracker who then meets west side story?
FUN!!! I heard rumors that Santa has been seen in Charlottesville!
Merry Christmas!
your friend in Charlottesville
