Naughty or Nice, Kids Can Track Santa's Journey With NORAD App

You don't have to wait until Christmas Eve to visit the website or download the app - there's plenty to keep kids busy now.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command has helped generations of children track Santa’s progress from the North Pole to North America and make it into bed before he reaches their rooftops.

This is the 60th year that our military has used volunteers to report on his progress.

The NORAD Santa website is a feast for children - with Christmas music played by the U.S. Air Force Academy Band, a Santa Tracker Countdown, games (a new one is unveiled daily, like an advent calendar) and more.

But in this age of apps, keeping an eye on Santa is a one-touch effort from your smart phone.

With the app, children can play games or listen to Christmas music while Mom and Dad run errands. And on Christmas Eve, they won’t miss a minute of Santa’s journey as you visit relatives.
