NORAD Santa Tracker 2009

It's not long to the big day now and preparations are moving up a gear - at least they are in the Green household! But what my children (and I'm sure children all over the world) are looking forward to in particular is the arrival of a certain tubby gentleman with a bulging sack.


You can follow Santa's progress across the globe on Christmas Eve via NORAD's official Santa tracker here.


But while you're waiting for the night of 24 December, why not enjoy this short video of Santa's 2008 journey around the world?

NORAD Santa Tracker

The North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD), which is responsible for aerospace and maritime defence (for the US and Canada), has teamed up with Internet giants Google to make Santa's busy 24 hours visible online via the http://www.noradsanta.org/ site.

The big man in the red and white suit has already dropped off some some gifts in Russia, Japan, Fiji, North Korea, Australia and New Zealand, and will of course be heading to the UK later. So you'd better be good for goodness sake...
