It's also something I have been very afraid to do because when some YouTubers started the practice back in 2008, one person I know who was a blogger on one of my city blogs, O

NORAD Santa Tracker Now Over Mid West USA - Video NORAD Santa Tracker Now Over Mid West USA The NORAD Santa Tracker for Christmas Eve Santa Tracking has changed a lot since I first started blogging about it in 2009. Basically, it's improved with the available technology and from a basic static web image with a moving photo of Santa to a more animated version of Santa Claus and his reindeer in orbit around the planet. What's most interesting is that the NORAD Santa Tracker does not tell where Santa's going, but where he is or just visited to drop gifts. It also has a gift counter. The gift counter is the best part of the presentation. It counts one gift for every person on earth. Right now, it's over 5.7 billion gifts delivered. via IFTTT http://youtu.be/4ddrFHd01OU
