Today is December 1, 2009 and is the day when Norad begins to prepare for when they track Santa. The website will offer updates from the North Pole, and if kids visit each day then they will be treated to a few surprises in the Kid’s Countdown Village.

This year will be a busy year for Santa and his little elves; they have been hard at work making a list for all the good children and have been making toys for them. If you have been naughty, then you had better start behaving now before it is too late.

When you visit the Santa Tracker 2009 website, you will be met with a countdown clock. When it gets to zero, that is when Santa begins his long journey from the North Pole and circulates the whole world in one night.

Below is a video of when Norad tracked Santa last year.
