santaDo you know where Santa Claus is?

If this is a question you have a burning desire to learn the answer to, then you’re in luck!  For the past several years,the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), has been using all of their sophisticated equipment to keep track of the jolly old man as he crosses the planet.  Complete with interactive maps and computer generated videos, the NORAD Santa Tracker site draws around one billion hits during the 24 hours of the journey.

While all in good fun, it has become one of the most popular websites in the world during the time the government agency is tracking the man in the red suit.  It is also a great opportunity to teach kids about different parts of the world, the different time zones as he starts his journey at midnight in the first time zone and so on.

So, if you’ve never been by the site, make sure you stop by to at least check it out.  And, if you have kids in the house, it is a must stop site, if for no other reason than to motivate them to get to bed that much earlier!
