It's sort of cheating but if you need to get your children (or cat & dog) to bed...see NORAD's Official Santa Tracker. Threaten no Santa if they remain sleepless, then pour yourself a beverage & watch It's A Wonderful Life (on in the States on NBC at 8pm or if you're near us, it's at AFI Silver Theatre at 9:00pm & way worth it on the large screen).
As Giulia's editor types this, Santa is in Tarrafal, Cape Verde & his next stop: Grytviken, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
