For the 44th year, NORAD will be tracking Santa's flight around the world and this year you can following along on your home computer.
NORAD is the joint air defense command for Canada and the United States.
The tradition began in the '50's when a department store misprinted a telephone number for children to call Santa.
The calls ended up going to the Air Defense Command, where the director used radar to track the jolly old elf.
In addition to keeping up to date with the sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, Norad scientists have answered such mysteries as how Santa gets down the chimney and how he gets the toys delivered so fast.
There's even a counter to keep track of how many cookies he's eaten. You will to need to download a small free progam to track Santa's flight and NORAD recommends you do it early to avoid the rush.
