Prince George, B.C.- Every year, NORAD turns the radar over to keep an eye on Santa, to make sure he has a safe flight around the world. Because of different time zones, he is already on his way to some areas of the world.

You can track his progress by clicking here.

Check back often as Santa never stays in one place too long, he has a lot of homes to visit!

It is a bit pretentious on our part that Santa Claus is a tradition the world over. Far from it, and I think we should learn how to respect that notion a bit more.

Perhaps if there are people posting on here who have different traditions than Santa Claus that they grew up with, they would not mind sharing it with others on here at this time of year.

From Chicago, an article about 3 different ethnic groups and their views of what is a traditional Christmas for them.

"Santa Claus" was inpired from several sources. One of the oldest was the festival of Saint Nikolas that is still celebrated on December 6 in many countries.

How many angels fit on the head of a pin?

The same number as fit on the point of a pin. :-)

Fantasy is fantasy. That is a wonderful thing.

All I am saying is that people throughout the world have different fantasies. Santa Claus is not a universal fantasy. Neither are the Chirstmas fantasies of others. They are their own fantasies. That is what makes fantasies so great. They are personal. :-)
