    @Dancer I used to LOVE tracking Santa on google when I was younger, and even when I was a little bit older, it really increased Christmas Spirit!! Thank you for keeping us updated!!

    Sorry it's a bit past when I said I would resume with my Santa tracking duties. I was helping my mum to wrap Christmas presents.

    Does anyone want to be an assistant Elf by tracking Santa as well? I need to go out in about 20 to 30 minutes and I won't be back until probably about 7:15pm to 7:30pm so if someone else could take over between those times it would be greatly appreciated.

    Santa is currently in Kirov in Russia. He has delivered over 3,000,000,000 gifts which is absolutely amazing for just 8 hours.

    Does anyone want to track where Santa is during group chat tonight or should we just pause tracking during chat as I know that if I posted every single update this discussion would have about 20 pages.

    Santa is currently in Baku in Azerbaijan. I'll be able to probably do 1 or 2 more locations of tracking where Santa is before having to go out.

    I now have to go out but if someone else could possibly take over until I get back even if they can only do it for a few minutes it would be greatly appreciated. Santa is currently in Yerevan in Armenia.

    Santa is currently in Hamburg in Germany. I'm going to go to sleep after the next location so if anyone wants to stay awake and carry on tracking Santa that would be amazing. I understand it is quite late though and people might not see this on time.

    Ps: Santa still does part of his journey on Christmas Day as some countries are in completely different timezones that mean they can be hours behind us so if anyone wants to do any Santa tracking tomorrow morning feel free.

    Santa is currently in Copenhagen in Denmark. He has delivered nearly 5 billion gifts which I find to be absolutely loads. How on earth does he have enough room in his sleigh? It is quite late now and Santa is only about 2 hours away from England so I'm going to go to sleep now. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

    Is it totally unreasonable to go onto the Norad Santa tracker? Ok I’m 19 but I can bring out my inner child right?

    Yes that is completely acceptable. I know I said I was going to go to sleep but I wanted to try and find "Twas The Night Before Christmas."

    Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

    The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
    And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
    Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

    When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to the window I flew like a flash,
    Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

    The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
    Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

    With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
    More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

    "Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
    On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
    To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
    Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

    As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
    So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
    With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

    And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
    The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
    As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
    Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

    He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
    And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
    A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
    And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

    His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
    His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
    His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
    And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

    The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
    And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
    He had a broad face and a little round belly,
    That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

    He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
    And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
    A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
    Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
    And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
    And laying his finger aside of his nose,
    And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

    He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
    And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
    But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
    "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

    According to Google Santa Tracker, Santa should be back at the North Pole now ready for mince pies and a good old long sleep.
