The U.S. Military's North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)has been doing the tracking of Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve for the last six decades since its creation in 1958. This radar system has 47 sites across Alaska and north Canada. Santa's sleigh is tracked by way of Rudolph's nose. It gives off an infrared signal that a satellite that is designed to let North America know of potential missle launches can detect.
There is a site you go to and see where Santa is over the world and how many gifts have been delivered.
You can go to this site and track Santa:
Follow Santa Claus as he makes his magical journey around the world!

I have been tracking Santa a few times today. It gets annoying when he suddenly starts getting further away because he has to change course to include all countries.
By the way, you may want to edit your discussion because you inadvertently wrote 60 decades.

And you might want to check your data. It started in 1958 and it is now 2015. So that is nearly 6 decades or 60 years. Real close. That's why I rounded it off.

@celticeagle That is what I commented about.
You did not write 60 years or 6 decades, you wrote 60 decades.

Oh, the joys of modern technology. I wonder how long it will be before Santa decides he needs a stealth sleigh.

He probably already has a stealth sleigh. @ronEIFran

Magic of course it's magic. Santa is magic himself.

I always mean to watch and chuckle when he is where I am, and I always forget
