To find out where Santa is with your gifts, utilise Google's Santa Tracking feature, which tracks Santa's real-time position as he prepares to distribute gifts to children all across the world. According to MacRumors, Google's Santa Tracker, a 19-year business tradition, allows eager youngsters (and parents!) to watch the jolly gift-journey giver's on December 24.
On this day, Santa's village was transformed into a tracking experience, allowing children to follow Santa and his reindeer as they went about their important work.
According to the report, the feature may be tracked via a web browser on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac by visiting Google's official Santa Tracking website.
The website features a real-time map of Santa's present location, his next stop, a live video feed of his travel, and an estimated arrival time at each location.
According to the report, it also provides photographs of prior Santa visits, a live tally of items given, and Santa's current distance from your location.
There are also games to play, creative activities to do, and videos to watch.
Other tracking systems, such as the NORAD Tracks Santa Claus app and website, are also available, according to the report, but Google's site is considered to be the most dynamic and detailed.
Santa Claus is a legendary character who is the traditional patron of Christmas in the United States and other nations, bringing presents to children. His iconic image is based on stories related with Saint Nicholas, a Christian saint from the fourth century. In many European countries, Father Christmas plays the role.
The Dutch are credited with bringing the tale of Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) to New Amsterdam (now New York City), as well as the tradition of giving children gifts and sweets on his feast day, December 6.

Santa Claus as we know him today is based on illustrations produced by cartoonist Thomas Nast for Harper's Weekly beginning in 1863. Nast's Santa was heavily influenced by the depiction given in the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (commonly known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas").
The image was further defined by Haddon Sundblum's popular Santa Claus advertising for the Coca-Cola Company beginning in 1931.
Sundblum's Santa wore a crimson suit with a black belt and white fur trim, black boots, and a soft red cap.
Santa Claus is believed to live with his wife at the North Pole, where he spends the year making toys with the assistance of his elves. There, he receives messages from children requesting Christmas presents.
On Christmas Eve, he loads his sleigh with toys and flies across the world, drawn by eight reindeer, stopping at each child's house; he slides down the chimney and leaves the gifts, replenishing himself on milk and cookies left for him by the children of the household.
