The excitement of Christmas is building up, and Santa Claus tracking is a global tradition.

NORAD's been on it since the '60s, but Google joined the party in 2004 with its Google Santa Tracker.

Google Santa Tracker is a magical holiday website that follows Santa's Christmas Eve journey using GPS data.

NORAD offers a 3D simulation, while Google's tracker is 2D, but both provide exciting details on Santa's travels. 🎄🎁
