Luckily for inquisitive minds, there are two ways to follow Santa Claus this Christmas Eve.
The North American Aerospace Defence Command are using their state-of-the-art satellites to track Santa for one day only, and his progress can be followed on a computer, smartphone or tablet. Google have also created an app that will follow the progress of Santa and his sleigh throughout the day and night.
