Google's Santa Tracker is back - and has some cool new features and activities




It's been a busy week for Google with lots of new updates (see my last few posts) and now they brought back their Santa Tracker and added some new features. You can still follow Santa around the world on Christmas Eve, but now there is more - they've added Santa's Village.

Santa's Village is an interactive space with videos, games and more, including some educational parts like Christmas traditions around the world. New options and activities appear each day, including learning new languages and learning to code!

It is available online and through the Android app.

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, this is a fun and educational tool.

Track Santa on Christmas with help from NORAD



Since 1955, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has been tracking Santa as he delivers goodies to all the good little boys and girls. 

You can follow Santa on his travels a few different ways.


Track Santa

The free App for Android is very nice. It has a countdown timer, the track Santa and Elf Toss, a game where you help the Elves toss gifts to Santa.






You can search for "Santa" in Google Maps on Christmas Eve and track Santa. 






The NORAD Tracks Santa site has a countdown timer, videos, and links to track Santa on Google Earth. The site also has the history of how NORAD came to track Santa and why they continue the tradition. 

You can also follow NORAD as they track Santa on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. 





Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it!!
