Santa Tracker 2020: When St. Nick Arrives In Dearborn
While you celebrate Christmas at home, see when Santa Claus and his reindeer are scheduled to arrive in your neighborhood.
Itβs been a tough year, and while few traditions this holiday season will go on untouched by the coronavirus pandemic, hereβs one we can still count on β seeing whether Santa Claus is en route to your neighborhood with a sleigh full of Christmas gifts.
Itβs a tried-and-true way to bring an extra spark of joy to kids this holiday season. Itβs also a good incentive to get the kiddos tucked in by convincing them that Rudolphβs red nose is trained on your house and Santa is, in fact, on his way.
One way to track Santa is through the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, which keeps count of the number of gifts children who went to bed on time have received.

The U.S. military command charged with protecting the nationβs airspace also tracks Santaβs trajectory.
Kids can also keep their eye on Santaβs path using the Google Santa Tracker. As of around 1 p.m. Wednesday, the tracker spotted St. Nick over Yerevan, Armenia, which was Christmas Day there.
