(WNKY) – It’s almost Christmas, but even now, children can see where Santa Claus is heading next.

Every year, the North American Aerospace Defense Command provides a constant update for families to see where gifts are being delivered.

According to the Associated Press, the idea started in 1955 and still remains a tradition today. To learn more about the history behind the tradition, click here.
