NORAD Tracks Santa 2009 - Night Before Christmas

Hey Kids,

Santa will be leaving the North Pole in just a matter of minutes, If you would like to track his whereabouts and follow him and his reindeer around the globe in real time, then you need to contact NORAD throughout the day.

The NORAD Tracks Santa Web site is the form of a public relations program by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) involving the countries of Canada and the USA. Every year for over fifty years on Christmas Eve NORAD has told stories of how their powerful tracking systems such as the Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line) detected Santa Claus leaving the North Pole to deliver his presents.

Santa will be taking off from the North Pole and making his first stop of the night in Auckland New Zealand at 5:00 am (eastern standard time).

You can check in hourly at the NORAD Santa tracker, to see just how close Santa is to delivering presents to your house.

In the mean time enjoy Santa recieting the Night Before Christmas.
