images/news/google.jpgSanta Claus was over Japan early Wednesday and heading south toward Guam, the Marshall Islands, New Guinea, and ultimately Australia, according to a special, Google Maps-powered Web site established by the North American Aerospace Defense Command.

From Australia, Santa was expected to head west to cover Asia and Europe, before arriving in North America Wednesday night.

In addition to the tracking maps, the Web site, noradsanta.org, also features interactive tools that allow children to explore Santa's village at the North Pole, play holiday-themed card games, and see what's going on at Santa's bakery and workshop.

NORAD has been tracking Santa ever since 1955, when a Colorado newspaper ad misprinted a phone number that was supposed to connect kids with the jolly Christmas elf. Instead, the number was the NORAD (the agency at the time was known as the Continental Air Defense Command) commander-in-chief's hotline.

Santa's village at the north pole...such misinformation is not forgivable, he lives in Lapland Finland, it's fact, even watched a show yesterday that showed a journey there to meet up with him and bring him back for a Christmas party, plus it is easy enough to find this fact with google, such examples:
