Santa Tracking with NORAD and Google Analytics. We write this blog post with what can only be described as holiday giddiness. First, we’re writing it from the North Pole with the help of Santa’s Elves (they are spell-checking as we write), and second, we’ve teamed up with NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, as well as Santa Claus himself. Where could this possibly be going? Well, NORAD is using Google Analytics on their incredibly popular NORAD Tracks Santa website!

As you may know, NORAD provides aerospace warning and control for North America 365 days a year. This U.S. military department is tracking what’s going on up above (so you don’t have to constantly crane your neck). And on Christmas Eve, you better believe NORAD is keeping a close eye on Santa’s flight.

Why is this so important? Just ask any child. Children everywhere Ŵ
