Is there someone who would not want to know at what time Santa Claus will land on the roof of his house? Since 1958, every Christmas Eve NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has been tracking the way of Santa Claus in the sky. The results can have been viewed on the network since 1998 and since 2004 Google has been supporting the project with its own software.

Today, people around the world can track children's favorite Saint and his team using the official website NORADSanta and Google Maps (also on mobile phones) and Google Earth (by downloading the appropriate KML file). The record is accompanied by the photos from Panoramio service together with the location on the map as well as short videos of some stops and micro-blog on Twitter.
