Santa is just about ready to take off on his big yearly journey around the world. Thanks to today’s technology, we don’t have to wonder where he is anymore. We can track Santa’s entire trip around the world all day on Christmas Eve.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite Christmas traditions was watching the local news and hearing that Santa had been spotted on the weather radar and was getting close to our town. Now it's easy to see when Santa is getting close to Arkansas and Texas.

Track Santa’s Journey to Arkansas with NORAD

With my husband's family in England, following Santa’s travels has become a fun Christmas Eve tradition in our house. Thanks to NORAD, we can see exactly where Santa is as he makes his way around the world. Oh and NORAD also keeps count of how many presents he delivers along the way.
