As a kid, I remember writing letters to Santa and leaving cookies and milk for the Jolly Old Elf on Christmas eve. Do you remember listening to the radio and hearing reports from NORAD who tracked Santa's journey from the North Pole to all the countries around the world as he visited all good boys and girls? I do not know about you, but it was all part of the magic of Christmas.
Times have changed and Santa and his staff have certainly stayed on top of all the new forms of communication.
You can find Santa Claus on Twitter.
You can add a Santa Claus application on Facebook.
And you can now track Santa online. Beginning at 2am Eastern time on December 24, Santa's location will be tracked all over the world.
With its partnership with Google in 2007, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) displays Santa's yearly journey in Google Earth and Maps.
Want to ensure your children are tucked into bed before Santa arrives at your house? Check his location at: www.noradsanta.org
NORAD will also videotape Santa inflight with animated video courtesy of its "Santa Cams".
On Twitter, follow the same Santa updates: NoradSanta.
