A website called Travel by GPS has a web page dedicated to Tracking Santa. One of the cool things they have done is mapped out Santa’s route showing how he passes over 529 cities from midnight to midnight in one contiguous path.
So, get in the Christmas spirit and download Santa’s Route in Google Earth. You can click on the “Points” folder after it downloads and click on “Play Tour” to fly the entire path if you want (warning, this might take a while unless you have Santa Magic).

Very cool! I intend to be glued to the computer tomorrow night. When Santa starts getting close to my neck of the woods, it’s time to send the kiddies to bed 😉
Santa, please come early!
Growing up a nerd was tough for me, but my kids will know to the nano-second when Santa is going to arrive.
This will be so cool. My twin sister and I are looking forward to sparking an interest in our younger sister Amelia. ( age 7)
(our age 14)

Dear santa, I wanted a Lego Star Wars Ship. From Sarah: Dear Santa, I am glad I got to travel the world with you on the computer, I set out three cookies and a glass of milk for you myself. I learned on a movie that christmas is not about gettung presents but about the person who gave them to you and how much they love you. Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas Santa! Love Sarah and Andrew
Santa i was extra good at church today

Dear Santa, My little couin would like a dolly and my little sister wants American Girl doll stuff I for one would like anything. I know that the real reason for Christmas is to give gifts from the heart. You rock!
Dear Santa Clause,
I don’t mean to put pressure on you during your busiest time of year, but I am a only child and I need someone to talk to, someone to tell my feelings to, and I think that is you Santa. What I am about to tell you might shock you, but I think I can tell you anything,here it goes. I move alot which means I change schools all the time which is really hard and even more hard when your in middle school like I am. My parents do drugs and drink and fight I get scared a lot. The only time of the year that they don’t do that is on christmas. Please Santa make this the best christmas ever.
P.s
I am moving back to Bladen county so don’t forget me this year.
Your Friend,
Samantha Morrison

My little girl is called Pixie and is officially one of Santas helpers. When she is not helping santa, she tells me that she is one of gods angels, (and therefore does not have to tidy her room!!) She and her little sister Harli are so excited that they r running around the walls. I feel a late night and an early morning…..yawn. Hey, its Christmas…and I think that Im probably more excited than they are.
Signed, Big Kid, Lisa x
Please go to all of the other nedy kids before me:)

Hi Santa,
I really don’t want any presents this year. I would really appreciate it if you could give my presents to someone who has been good this year and does not have much. Please, if possible, bring home all the soldiers overseas so they can spend Christmas with their families.
Have a safe flight, cookies and hot chocolate are waiting for you and carrots and sugar for the reindeer. Love to you, Mrs. Claus, and everyone at the north pole have a great Christmas.
Hi Heidi I was just telling Santa that for 2015 to go to my house last and give the poor kids their presents first.
Dear Santa, I would like it if you came to my house last this Christmas year. 2015 because a lot of kids don’t get toys and all like India places where the kids are and have no money.
Love you,
Robyn oh and I’m trying to be a good girl hopefully I’m not on the bad list.
Have a great Christmas
You know what guys on google it says that Santa is real. But my parents say that he isn’t that it is just your family putting the presents under the tree. So I don’t know who to believe. Who believes that Santa is real.
