This Christmas Eve, track Santa as he and his flying reindeer make their way to your town. NORAD’s (North American Aerospace Defense Command) site is following Ol’ St. Nick’s path from the North Pole on Christmas Eve until he’s doled out gifts to the good boys and girls across the globe 24 hours later.

Also virtually traverse the globe with Santa via apps found on iTunes, Google Play, and Windows. All apps are free, and aside from honing in on Santa, offer holiday-themed games.
