I can't help myself. For years when my boys were small, we would go to this site, to show them how close Santa was getting. It is a shameless way to get the little ones tucked into bed on Christmas Eve early, so that you can finally put together those toys, don't forget batteries!!
They do an excellent job tracking Santa, all over the world. Just like Canada Post handles all those letters to Santa.
This is taken very seriously, as we provide an escort for Santa, when he flies throughout Canada.
Canadian NORAD Region Names Santa's Escort Pilots
NORAD - December 12, 2007
Winnipeg, Man. – As Christmas gets closer, the Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Region has put the finishing touches on plans to track and escort Santa Claus when he visits Canada by naming four CF-18 fighter pilots as his official escorts.
Capts. Dave Moar and Craig Sharp of 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alta., and Capts. Colin Marks and Yannick Jobin of 3 Wing Bagotville, Que., will take on the responsibility of welcoming Santa when he arrives in Canada on his annual Christmas Eve journey, and escorting him safely through Canadian airspace.
The pilots will also take photos and video of Santa and his sleigh using special NORAD SantaCams mounted on their aircraft. The SantaCams instantly download the photo and video imagery so that it may be viewed by children worldwide on the NORAD Tracks Santa website, www.noradsanta.org, on December 24. All of this information will be available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.
For all you parents of little ones out there, make sure you visit NORAD on Christmas Eve, we have never been disappointed, they do a great job.
