Norad's Santa Tracker shows his sleigh making its way around the world

While you’ve been sleeping, Santa and his reindeer have been busy showering kids with presents on the other side of the globe. 

And thanks to Google and the Santa Tracker from the North American Aerospace Defense Command — those Canadian and U.S. military officials who are charged with protecting North American skies and waters — you can track the progress of his sleigh. 

8:52: Santa is in Lhasa, China! Next stop: Wulumugi, China

7:25 a.m.: So far, they’ve delivered — exactly — 2,937,264 presents! Next stop: Suva, Fiji. 

Get those cookies and milk ready for your visit when he heads our way. 

We’ll keep you up-to-date on his progress. Merry Christmas Eve and ho, ho, ho.
