每年圣诞节最大的网红无疑是一个红帽子白胡子的老头。
不不，不是下图的这位，而是真正的圣诞老人。这位从每年都准时从芬兰冰天雪地里起飞出发，坐着雪橇指挥驯鹿的老人，不畏严寒地环绕世界，给每家每户送出自己准备一年的礼物，无疑也是每年让大人和孩子最快乐的一天。
每年为了追踪这个老头，大家都是下了一番功夫的。
圣诞老人会沿着怎样的路线环游地球？他什么时候会来到我们这儿？他的车上装了多少礼物？如果大人们给孩子讲圣诞节的故事，我估计总有人会问出这样的问题，虽说童话总是人们幻想出来的，但圣诞老人的美好传说不应该让孩子们失望，为了满足孩子们的愿望，Google 和北美空防司令部这些年来一直都在做一件事——追踪圣诞老人。
从 2004 年开始，Google 就推出了圣诞老人追踪器（Santa Tracker）服务，你只需要在圣诞节期间搜索「圣诞老人在哪里」或者直接用语音问他关于圣诞老人的问题，网页上就会为你呈现圣诞老人的实时路线。
今年的圣诞老人追踪器更进一步，你不但可以通过自己的 Google Assistant 助手随时来询问圣诞老人的进度，还可以通过各种各样有趣的游戏来进一步参与圣诞节，比如通过涂鸦画板和故事板块，你还能更深入地融入到节日气氛中。
不过说到追踪圣诞老人，美国军方一点都不逊色于 Google。北美空防司令部（North American Aerospace Defense Command-Norad）多年来一直都在对圣诞老人进行追踪，近些年还通过网页甚至 YouTube 直播的形式呈现给大家，这件事已经做了 63 年，如今依然是官方的保留节目。
从网页端，你不但可以在地图看到圣诞老人已经走过的轨迹，在上方的状态栏还能看到圣诞老人以超快的速度分发礼物，配合三维模拟的圣诞老人形象，给人的感觉似乎更加真实。
在北美空防司令部的网页上，你不但可以对圣诞老人已经经过的地点进行查看，还能看到他下一个目的地预计到达的时间，这些功能都让圣诞老人显得更加真实，而军方做的这一切都来自于一个美丽的误会。
在 1955 年圣诞节到来之前，科罗拉多的一家报纸刊登广告，邀请孩子可以和圣诞老人通电话，结果把电话误写成了北美空防司令部，但军方没有生气，反而成全了孩子们的愿望，他们通过平安夜公布圣诞老人路线图的方式去满足孩子们的愿望，这件事做到现在已经有 63 年了。
说起来，圣诞节期间你甚至还可以打电话到北美空防司令部，这时会有官方志愿者接听电话，告诉你圣诞老人现在走到哪里，距离你还有多远。我想对孩子们来说，能在圣诞节打听到关于圣诞老人的更多消息也是一件甜蜜和温暖的事情，如果正在阅读的你也想了解圣诞老人的详情，不妨登陆北美空防司令部官网一探究竟吧。
