Welcome to our annual thread where we will track Santa's trip around the world to delivery presents this Christmas. Of course, this all is made possible by our friends at the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Per NORAD headquarters, it " is a United States and Canada bi-national organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning, aerospace control, and maritime warning for North America. Aerospace warning includes the monitoring of man-made objects in space, and the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands." Every Christmas for over 60 years, NORAD has tracked Santa's Christmas Eve journey around the world. I will attempt to be in contact multiple times with headquarters on Christmas Eve and post updates throughout most of the day, so please check back, and comment in the thread below! I will also be post photos from the North Pole as Santa and his Elves prepare for the trip around the world. Merry Christmas everyone! Monika

I would like to just add to the preview that I am going to be here with my three nieces and nephew. This is a tradition Kasey started with me when I was 2 years old and continues for several years. When our nieces and nephews starting arriving, I took it over. Not just for them, but for everyone.

Santa is less than 10 minutes from his scheduled departure time. He's tending to the reindeer as I write.

That will do it for my personal coverage of the Tracker for this year. Others may pop in to let you know when Santa finishes his journey.
Good night and Merry Christmas!
