Here's how to track Santa on Christmas Eve
Christmas has begun, and Santa Claus has started making his trip around the world.
And just like you can track where that jogging outfit you bought on Amazon for Aunt Gladys is, you can track the jolly old elf.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command — commonly known by its acronym NORAD — is one way you can keep tabs. Do it through NORAD’s website and its Twitter account, NORAD Tracks Santa.
The tracker can also be accessed with the help of Alexa through Amazon Echo devices.
Google also is tracking Santa.
As of early Dec. 24 in the Eastern U.S., NORAD had Santa over Japan.

It seems tracking Santa could be a good geography lesson for kids during their school break.
Gifts delivered were adding up fast and had already topped 1 billion, according to NORAD. There must have been a lot of good boys and girls this year.
