North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) usually uses its system to find man-made objects in space. However, every Christmas, Norad makes an exception to its norm and helps people across the globe track the location of Santa Claus once he leaves his workshop up in the north pole. Every year during Christmas time, Santa leaves his workshop just a few moments before 11 AM, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Those who want to track Santa's location can use the Norad Santa Tracker online and find out his exact position on the globe.
