Tracking Santa 2.0

Tracking Santa just got easier.

The people at NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, known for bringing us the ability to track Santa on his Christmas Eve trek around the world, have added tons more ways to stay up to the minute on Santa’s whereabouts.

You can follow Santa’s action on Facebook and Twitter. Plus there are pictures of Santa and his elves at NORAD briefings and other activities available on Flickr. And videos of Santa cruising the globe will be on YouTube.

All of the new methods of Santa tracking are in addition to the ability to track him on your phone or by calling (1-877-Hi-NORAD) or e-mailing (noradtracksanta-AT-gmail-DOT-com) the official Santa trackers.

Santa tracking begins at midnight MST (2 a.m. on the East Coast) on Christmas Eve. You can track Santa all through the day and when you see him getting close to you, it’s time to leave some milk and cookies (and maybe a carrot for Rudolph) and tuck the kids in to bed.

From the GovGab team, we wish you and yours a happy and safe holiday season.
