Am I the only grown up checking Santa's progress on the NORAD Santa tracker??

Both girls have vanished upstairs & I'm merrily switching between that & MN while pizzas and Christmas smiley faces cook for tea Xmas Grin. I will no doubt be eye rolled when they come down in ten mins or so!

I've been tracking him since 8am this morning. Quite a long time before he actually set off.

17y dd keeps checking - just so she knows ;)

We did, but it was saying he’ll be leaving in 1 day. Dd just checked and it’s working now Smile

ElfAndSafeKey · 24/12/2019 19:24

I'm on the google Santa tracker!

JudyDenchsBloomers · 24/12/2019 19:28

I'm tracking him too!

Crunchymum · 24/12/2019 19:30

En route to Minsk Xmas Grin

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 24/12/2019 19:30

My mum is keeping me updated via WhatsApp 🤣

I'm on the Google Santa tracker! Can't decide whether the put the stockings under the tree when Google says he's been or wait until the middle of the night (baby will wake up for a feed around 3am).

mommybear1 · 24/12/2019 19:59

We are tracking him too! DS is 2 has no clue, no idea and not a care - we are waaaaay to invested 🤣

sugarplumtum · 24/12/2019 22:05

Thank you OP I have never heard of this and now I'm very happy I have.
Checking now Smile

RedToothBrush · 24/12/2019 22:11

It wouldn't be Christmas eve without norad santa.

lucysmam · 24/12/2019 22:14

@sugarplumtum if you have facebook, they post regular updates on there too. & I think there's an app but have never actually got round to looking for it Xmas Smile

He's heading to Europe now.
In our house the mince pie and carrot pieces are on the dining table....so a dog doesn't eat them...

Kanga83 · 24/12/2019 22:15

Me. My eldest is refusing to sleep and waiting for Santa while I'm pleading with her to sleep so I can sleep (and fill the damn stockings)

sugarplumtum · 24/12/2019 22:29

My eldest is 14 I don't know how I missed this all those years, but thank you I'll have a look!
Xmas Smile

No children here and yet we've been tracking Santa most of the day. I know someone in his 80s who thinks it's one of the best parts of Christmas.

SpeedofaSloth · 24/12/2019 22:46

Not at all. He was in Marseille last time I checked, kids went to bed ages ago Xmas Grin

Icanflyhigh · 24/12/2019 22:48

Nope. Me and DP have been checking all day!

ExpletiveFairylighted · 24/12/2019 22:53

Joined in as he arrived in Taiwan earlier, we've done it for years Xmas Smile

SpeedofaSloth · 24/12/2019 23:02

He's in Tunisia now Xmas Smile

megletthesecond · 24/12/2019 23:02

I've been watching this evening.
Not sure what his route is, looks like he's currently around north Africa and the Med then will hopefully head to the UK.

Chanel05 · 24/12/2019 23:03

Always do it! Been tracking it all day with my 6yo niece and she has been mesmerised!

Northernsoullover · 24/12/2019 23:08

He's in Africa now. I wonder if you are in Africa and you check it says he's elsewhere Hmm it would cause quite a stir if it said he was in the UK and no gifts arrived.

highheelsandweathercocks · 25/12/2019 21:44

We watched him fly directly over our town. We managed to get a screenshot.
