New photo Google Santa Tracker 2018 live – where is Father Christmas right NOW?

CHRISTMAS traffic can be a nightmare but you can track how Santa is doing on his busiest night of the year with an interactive map.

Tis the day before Christmas and while the rest of us are getting stuck into a few festive chocs, Father Christmas is making his way around the world delivering presents – but where is he right now?

NORAD’s annual Santa Claus tracker

NORAD Track Santa

For those who want to keep up with his mammoth journey a special festive map from NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) will ensure you stay in the picture.

According to the team at NORAD, Santa was flying across China at 4.20pm.

But sadly, currently NORAD can’t tell you when the big man will be arriving in the UK but keep an eye on the tracker as this evening progresses to check out how he’s getting on.

Since 1955, NORAD has been helping children (and adults) keep an eye on Father Christmas’ mammoth journey

Usually responsible for defending airspace, NORAD has been offering children and adults alike a way of keeping their eye on Santa’s sleigh since 1955.

The tradition was allegedly started by accident, when a local advertisement inviting kids to call Santa Claus accidentally misprinted the number.

The number they called put them through to Norad’s Commander-in-Chief’s operations hotline.

Colonel Harry Shoup, who later became affectionately known as Santa Colonel, answered the first of these calls.

He gamely asked his staff to check if there was any indication of Father Christmas’s movements on the radar.

A spokesman explained: “Indeed there were signs of Santa, and children who called in were given an update on Santa’s position.

“Thus, the tradition was born.”

These days, NORAD is able to provide users with an exact GPS location of Santa’s position online, and is also available on the Apple, Android and Windows app stores.

But over 70,000 children from 200 countries will still phone the hotline for a personal update on Santa’s whereabouts.

The team say they use infrared radar, defence satellites and other surveillance equipment to follow him through the skies.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
