MAIN Home Life Holidays Christmas Santa Claus

Where in the world is Santa Claus?

A favorite Christmas treat for kids of all ages is tracking Santa as he makes his way through all the countries of the world.

Rudolph's nose may light the way, but how can you know just when the the reindeer sleigh will set down in your town?

Well, say thanks to many special helpers around the world who keep Santa on the radar. They spend the year gathering news about the North Pole so that you, too, can track Jolly ol' St. Nick all around the World Wide Web!

Even NORAD - the official North American Aerospace Defense Command - takes time from watching planes to keep an eye on Santa!

Plus -- just up ahead -- find out how to write a letter, send an e-mail, or take a look at Santa's North Pole workshop, meet the elves that help Santa make Christmas toys and the magical reindeer that fly ... and discover how Santa plans to get to YOUR house this year!

In the meantime, you better watch out! It's always a surprise where he might pop up next...
