By By Emily Cabrera, Publisher Macaroni KID Leominster-Clinton December 17, 2023

The presents are wrapped, the tree is decorated, and Santa Claus has started making his trip around the world. It is fun to keep track of Santa Claus as he travels from the North Pole around the world on Christmas Eve. Thanks to modern technology, your kids have a variety of options to track Santa on a phone, tablet, or computer.
