Not to be left behind, Google also tracks Santa. Their website is a lot more interesting than Norad's. They have a nice animated Santa village, from where you can learn to code by playing an interactive game.

You can also read the interactive Christmas-themed books available on the site. There are lots of things to do on Google's Santa tracker that will keep you engaged for hours if not days.
