The military upgraded its tracker this year, showing the path of Santa's sleigh around the world, as well as keeping a running tally on the number of gifts delivered.

The Santa tracker began in 1955, when a Colorado Sears store printed an advertisement inviting children to call Santa and accidently included the number for NORAD.

By Christmas morning on the East Coast, Santa was somewhere over the Pacific, soon to be headed back to the North Pole.
