How to Track Down Santa on His Annual Trip South, We Really Mean Chase His Ass
So, your long-awaited vacation trip to visit family or friends has been canceled – for the second year in a row. It occurred to you that the children will not go to school again and will need to do something. For a short time, you can tell them to go read a book or solve a puzzle, or something that doesn’t require staring at the screen.
But then you remember that it’s holiday season and they’re all turned on and eagerly awaiting Christmas morning and Santa’s arrival. And since Santa is the only visitor your family will be meeting this year, you take out your iPad and tell the kids to keep tracking Santa (so they’ll at least learn how to use the map). Here’s what you need to know about how to keep an eye on Kris Kringle as he makes his annual journey south.
Where to find Santa in 2021
Santa is vaccinated, strengthened, and undergoes COVID tests daily all week. His sleigh is well ventilated. The old man is ready to fly. Here’s where to track his trip:
NORAD is tracking Santa
Traditionalists may prefer to watch his journey, compiled by NORAD, which has been providing children with the latest information on Santa’s arrival since 1958 .
In addition to its map , the NORAD website also provides many Christmas resources, including a library with information on holiday traditions, a playlist with some of Santa’s favorite songs, a theater with videos of Christmas, and an arcade with holiday games.
Google Santa Tracker
Google already has all this mapping software – it could just as well be used to track down Santa . But it’s more than just a map: the website has several other ways to keep in constant contact with Santa before and during his commute:
- Call Santa: Want to talk to him directly? If you have a Google Assistant-enabled device, you can simply say “Hey Google, call Santa,” and you’ll quickly connect to one of the elves in his workshop. They will connect you to the Big Guy.
- Find Santa : If you want to see where he is right before or after his big trip around the world, there is a feature that allows you to search for Santa in places like a museum or the beach.
- Let Santa tell you an anecdote: Apparently Santa is doing great on several things because whatever he does, you can say “Ok Google, give me a Santa joke” towards his Google Assistant (if he you have) and he will prepare a joke for you.
By Christmas, your kids will know the names of all the women Santa met before the current Mrs. Claus , and by chance they liked a Facebook photo of their first girlfriend’s son playing football.
