Thanks to Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, we know that Santa Claus got his COVID-19 shot. But where in the world is old St. Nick, who will be running around the world this Christmas Eve?

If your children are eager to know the answer to this particular question, you need not fret. As long as they stay close to their web browsers to see where Santa Claus is currently circling at Christmas, they can check out the jolly old elf's whereabouts.

This tried and true method comes courtesy of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, known as NORAD, which added Santa tracking to its mission list in 1955 after a child called to find out if Santa was over North America.

There is no need to call NORAD yourself; you can access NORAD's official Santa Tracker to see Santa's travels graphically in real time. As of 4:54 PM ET, Santa is on his way to Berlin, Germany.

Since Google manages the world's information, shouldn't it also keep track of Santa's movements? Access to the search giant's Santa Tracker will tell you where St. Nicholas is right now; according to Google, as of this writing, he is on the coast of Cameroon.

How can Santa be in Berlin and Cameroon at the same time? It must be Christmas magic.

Google's Santa Tracker does more than just tell you where Santa is. Click on the drop-down menu on the left side of the page and you'll find little games like Gift Slingshot, Elf Jetpack, and Penguin Dash. It's a nice way to pass the time with the family while you collect Santa's milk and cookies. And if you still have to finish your holiday shopping, sit the kids down in front of Santa Tracker for a last-minute gift guide.
