When I was a kid, we could stay up and watch the ten o’clock news to hear where Santa was. My parents did the same when they were kids, except they heard the news on the radio.  
Today my kids are following him on Google Earth with help from NORAD.

I love it. Great geography lessons, plus it is so fun.

Anyone else following him?
