Santa Tracker 2014 Update - NORAD and Google Santa Tracker Live Stream Links: See Where Is Santa Claus In Real Time
NORAD's Santa Tracker has been activated for 2014 as children around the world look to track exactly where Santa is on the way to delivering presents to millions around the globe this Christmas.
The NORAD Santa Tracker can be found by clicking here www.noradsanta.org and volunteers will be spending Christmas Eve answering phone calls and emails from children, as well as giving updates as to Santa's progress on social media sites Facebook and Twitter, as well as on the Santa Tracker main website.
This will be the 59th year the Santa Tracker has taken place in some form, after it started in 1955 when a newspaper offered a phone number for children to call (with permission from their parents) and find out where exactly Santa was at that time.

In that year the phone number posted was for the Continental Aerospace Defense Command, which has since become the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
In 1955, as calls started piling in, the officers on duty obliged and gave updates about Santa's whereabouts.
As technology has advanced, there have become more and more ways for children to keep track of Santa, and this year updates will be posted throughout Christmas Eve on www.noradsanta.org as well as the Facebook page www.facebook.com/noradsanta and the Twitter page at www.twitter.com/NoradSanta.
The Santa Tracker website was launched in 1997 to allow children to have a visual glimpse at Santa's progress, and in 2012 the website garnered an amazing 22.3 million views from around the world.
This year there will also be the Google Santa Tracker available to give a different version of the update. Google's Santa Tracker is a more colorful cartoon representation while NORAD shows a more life-like avatar of Santa with his reindeer galloping in the sky. The Google Santa Tracker can be found by clicking here and shows how many gifts Santa has delivered in real time and where his next stop will be.
