In order to visit every Christian household on Earth on Christmas eve, drop the presents, eat the cookies, and drink the milk, Santa must travel faster than light. The resolution of those web sites is simply too coarse to track Santa's position.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Obviously Google is in errror. NORAD has been tracking Santa since 1955 when the Colorado Springs Gazette misprinted their call Santa phone number. The number they printed went to the commander for the predecessor to NORAD. Rather than get mad, he had his staff set up a phone bank and then answer the phone.
As an aside, NORAD's Santa Tracking at one time was, and it may still be, an actual air defense exercise for the US and Canadian armed forces. Since they have to be on duty and pilots have to fly to maintain proficiency and certification, NORAD developed an air defense exercise to be run on Christmas Eve. I've had the pleasure of being the system controller who ran and monitored the exercise system while running Exercise Noel Tracker.
And for those who really don't know, Santa is a Time Lord and his sleigh is a TARDIS.

A friend of mine is furious: his car started making a weird noise so he took it to the garage yesterday only to find that somebody* had cable tied a harmonica to the propshaft, and he has no idea who ... 
* No, it wasn't me, but I really wish I'd thought of it.

as a lifelong harmonica player (diatonic and chromatic), this atrocity offends me deeply !

Considering most garages charge well over $100/hr to even look at your car, that's kind of a d*ck move.
I like it!

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming βWow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Just watched a documentary with Greg Wallace where he went to visit Santa in Rovanimie (Lapland), seems to be a very popular (but expensive) holiday outing for the English

I visited Santa's house in Rovaniemi on a snow scooter when I was something like 11 years old (about 24 years ago)
