Our Countdown to Christmas continues—4 days until Christmas.

---

If your children enjoy the magic and wonder of Santa Claus, there is nothing more fun than feeling a connection to him as we lead up to the big day. Your children may have already visited with Santa or written him letters, but did you know you can follow him on his journey for the big day? NORAD, a bi-national military organization responsible for aerospace defense in the U.S. and Canada, actually tracks Santa’s route on Christmas Eve.

Be sure to visit Norad Santa on December 24th for reports on Santa sightings, the reindeer’s flight and minute-by-minute information on the yearly journey. You can also stop by every day for fun & games in the Countdown Village. Norad also shares updates on Santa’s flight & plans via the Norad Santa Twitter.

You can also find Santa on Twitter, including updated Naughty & Nice lists. I enjoy updates on the elves & reindeer from this account, as well as inside info on Santa & holiday baking updates from his wife. Plus, it’s awfully handy to remind the girls that Santa Claus follows me on Twitter. “Don’t make me tweet Santa Claus!”
