NORAD tracks Santa

[Dylan]

Sorry for forgetting to post this here, as we have been doing this for a couple of years. NORAD tracks Santa's progress as he travels the world. My kids are super-excited when watching it and it adds to the atmos and excitement.

The NORAD Santa tracking site:

Thanks Dylan, just shown the young'uns - they're in a state of excitment

My 3 year old would erase your life from existence if you canceled chrimbo.

Dylan get one of your kids to email noradtrackssanta@gmail.com asking when he will be there. They reply back within a minute with an answer. Just worked a charm with the little ones here.... apparently he will be in Liverpool between 9 til midnight

It is actually great, brings joy and excitement back to this holiday for me.

I hate Christmas away from home, its never the same and its my fifth one away.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Why are you away for it mate?

 

[Dylan]

Danny, we have gone all out this year, we have personal (you persoinalize them, so nobody gets the same letter as you do) letters from Santa for both of our kids from this place

They look fantastic, and the look on Ethans face was incredible.

Over here we have a toll free number we can call which actually rings at NORAD (it is staffed by (Ch)airforce NORAD guys and civilians who work there) and you can ask questions about Santa's progress.

Have to be mate, the role dictates it.

Im not going to self harm or anything like.

 

[Dylan]

Anybody read Santa's Evil Twin by Dean Koontz? Dark Christmas story that is still fun to read. Ethan really enjoyed it.

I'd hate to disapoint your kids but santa isn't fat enough to be picked up by NORAD. That's just Benitez.
