Air Force General Glen VanHerck, NORAD's commander: "24 hours a day, 365 days a year, NORAD defends North America by tracking airplanes, missiles, space launches and anything else that flies in or around the North American continent. As we have since 1955, this Dec. 24th we are once again ready for our no-fail mission of tracking Santa."

Track Santa's live location this Christmas Eve with NORAD and Google from his start at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean and West
