It&#8217;s pretty nifty!  They&#8217;ve got a map marked with all of the places that Santa has already visited.  As of the last time I checked, he was in Congo.  He&#8217;s pretty fast, too.  He&#8217;s already been to the Philippines and Australia and part of Europe.  He should make it to the US in good time.<\/p>\n<p>Brian says that NORAD has been tracking Santa since he was a little kid.  I didn&#8217;t believe him until I checked their web site.  They&#8217;ve got over 50 years of historical data.  Amazing!  Other features of the web site include <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/profile?user=NORADTracksSanta\"  target=\"out\">video footage<\/a> and the ability to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mw1.google.com\/mw-earth-vectordb\/santa\/santa.kmz\"  target=\"out\">track Santa in 3D via Google Earth<\/a>.  I bet they didn&#8217;t have this when Brian was a little boy!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m really excited to show this to Logan.  I think he will love it!<\/p>\n<p>P.S. To speak to a NORAD Santa tracker in person, you can call 1-877-HI-NORAD or 1-877-446-6723.  The call is free within the United Sates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t wait until Logan gets here so I can show him the Santa tracker web site by NORAD.
