Track Santa Throughout Tonight's Journey

NORAD Website lets you follow St. Nick's every move.

No need to check out the skies of Glenview tonight to see if Santa is really coming to town. You can track St. Nick the high-tech way. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is charged with keeping the United States and Canada safe from dangers originating from the sky or space. Tonight, however, the Colorado-based government agency adds one more important task to its daily list of duties.

Included on the site is a countdown and activity page (http://www.noradsanta.org/en/index.html) and a flight tracking system (http://www.noradsanta.org/en/track3d.html) …

And the day's main event — Santa Claus — sat at the end of the room for family photos and to take wish requests. Ten in the morning may be too early to eat cookies for some. But for those at Bake Cookies With Santa…
