Just letting ya know you CAN follow the Big Guy’s package deliveries service….
He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake and now, we know exactly where Santa Claus is as he travels around the world delivering presents to children on Christmas Eve.
And if you’re looking for specifics on when exactly Santa will reach the U.S., both the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and Google have you covered this year with their live trackers following Saint Nick’s once-a-year journey starting from the North Pole.
Luckily, Santa will have no trouble entering the U.S. this year, thanks to a transit permit issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The permit, given to Mr. S. Nicholas Claus of the North Pole, a distributor with Gifts and Good Cheer, Inc., will allow reindeer to enter and exit the U.S. between 6 p.m. on Dec. 24 and 6 a.m. on Dec. 25, local time, through or over any U.S. border port.
Here’s what to know about following Santa’s around the world trip this year.
How to follow NORAD’s Santa tracker
The map tracking Santa’s trip around the world will begin on Christmas Eve, or Dec. 24, from NORAD, a joint U.S.-Canada command responsible for protecting the skies over both nations.
USA TODAY is providing live coverage as NORAD tracks Santa’s trip around the world, which will begin around 7 a.m. ET on Dec. 24. You can watch along on the video embed at the top of the page, on USA TODAY’s YouTube channel or on NORAD’s website…..
