It’s Christmas Eve, or the Night Before Christmas, and the time has come again to track the route of Santa Claus as he travels the globe, bringing presents to the good boys and girls.
Want to track Santa’s whereabouts on Christmas Eve? Here are the online tools you need.
NORAD continues it more than 50 years tradition of tracking Santa’s whereabouts especially on Christmas Eve. Read more about why NORAD tracks Santa as well as spirit of voluntarism during this event.
Google Earth
You need to install Google Earth on your browser to best experience tracking Santa through NORAD’s site radar.
Use Google Mobile Maps for mobile to track santa on your mobile phone. To know where he is on a particular moment, simply type in “Santa” on your mobile phone’s search box. Or go to m.noradsanta.org on your mobile phone browser.
This site lets you create a video message from Santa himself to be delivered to your friends or family members. It’s a pretty cool web app that makes real-time communication to the North Pole possible.
The site uses its own Satellite Tracking System to find Santa’s whereabouts on Christmas Eve. To follow their Santa Tracking activity you get the downloadable Santa tracker which will activate only when they start tracking Santa.
Download News 13′s Santa Map Tracker then follow News 13 coverage of Santa’s journey from the North Pole to homes in Florida. Get updates and other information by following them on Twitter and Facebook.
I WILL BE ARRIVING SOON. DONT STAY UP TOO LATE. DONT FORGET THE COOKIES.

You missed out on Santa TV (for hte kids)
http://freetubetv.net/index.php?view=9c2FudGF0dg
It’s an online station from the ‘north pole’ ;) that shows Santa interacting with kids and his elves.
Dear Norad:
This site is the cutest thing I have ever seen on the web. When my grand
children are here, I’m sure they will get a big thrill from it. Happy holidays.
Hello.
We went out on the balcony tonight and we thought we saw you zooming through space.
I didn’t get my list in the mail so here it is. I would like a My Little Pony castle. A serving cart and an apron and chef hat and some food. And I would like science project stuff. Some new clothes would be nice. And some new doctor stuff. My own blender like my sister got for her birthday.
For my little sister Emma: She would like more kitchen stuff and a baby doll. Some clothes for her baby doll and for her. And she really likes Scooby Do.
Great tradition. Thanks to the volunteers. Go Air Force!
Im sure u will be tracking me tonite. Don’t forget the cookies and milk u can also leave my reindeer oatmeal on the lawn tonite so they can carry me and the present.
Merry Christmas,
Santa Claus Hohoho

Santa,
We love you Santa.
I am waiting for Santa to get to the U.S., been tracking him since a little girl. I am glad this tradition is still going strong. “MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!”
Dear Santa,
I know it is last min. however there is only one thing I want this year. It can not be placed in a box or have a bow tied on it. Your elfs can not make it but every one can wish it. For I have an army man that I have not yet been able to visit. He already means so much to me and I look forward to the future with him, for I know we have one. Please allow me to be able to see him for the first time. To be able to hold him and feel his warmth on my face would mean the world to me. So Santa, all I want for Christmas is the safety of my army man and all the other men and women over seas.
We’re waiting for you at home too Santa!!!! We’ve been real good this year!!!
Stay warm Santa!
Many happy wishes to all this holiday season. Enjoy your families and make happy memories for everyone.
Peace in the New Year.
Hi Santa, I’m gonna leave you some cookies tonight on the coffe table in the livingroom. Can I have a teddy bear? I’d be reallly really happy : )
Thank you Santa I love you!!
-Morgan Graf
santa is real he only comes if you parents believe so thts how he gets around the world because some people believe i am a believer! I cant wait till you come tongith!
Dear Santa, I just wanted to wish you a safe trip and express my gratitude for all the wonder and joy you have brought to my and me for the last 40 years. It would be really great if you could visit my parents and show them some Christmas love. they are so far away and I miss them so much. Grandparents love Santa too!
I want an gas powered scooter .
Merry christmas everyone!

Dear Santa
I know that I am a little old to be asking for a present and at age 45 I don’t know if you can grant wishes for people my age. If you can, here are some things high on my list.
I wish that my father will not have to have his leg amputated after the holidays.
Mom is not in the best of shape either, could you please grant her and dad more youthful bodies and everlasting health.
I would really like, and wish to get back into my college and finish my degree.
I wish for all my family and kin to all be healthy above normal, with no health issues, born and unborn.
I wish for all the pains to stop in my body.
I am tired of being lonely and wish to find the person that would fulfill me for the rest of my life.
I wish for a financial wealth for all my family and self.
I wish for a job in my career path opposed to the one I am forced to take that is so physically demanding as it hurts.
If you can only grant one or two wishes, please choose the first two that I mentioned, my father and mother.
God Bless! I know how you feel! I wish for better health for me and my husband and someone special for my daughter. My oldest daughter is due in 10 weeks. I hope the new year give good health and blessing to all of us. More money would help also. Marty
please santa make my wish come true.i love you and i am a believer at 53
I don’t care what you bring me. I just want to spread Christmas Cheer. Hope you have good luck traveling. For all the girls and all the boys
Love
Sam & Mairead
