It's almost time for Christmas and the countdown has already began. It has been a custom for some time, where the whole internet to begins tracking the Christmas Santa.
NORAD and Google have set up websites for tracking Christmas' Santa Claus. What's believed as a Christian tradition of Santa Claus personally delivering the gifts himself is the intention of the two websites to track it.
The website has a live image representation mainly based on flash explaining how the process takes place. People will be able to watch Santa and his reindeers fly around the world on the website.
Google's website will have a more materialistic design than the NORAD. Both the American websites include a lot of fun packed activities for each calendar day where visitors can unlock a new interactive game each day until Christmas.
Coming to NORAD's site, there's a cinematic display where people can watch films and listen to Christmas carols on their music stage. There's a separate informative library where users can learn about Santa Claus and the holiday traditions that is celebrated differently worldwide. There's also animated display where people can shop for gifts which include clothing and personalized membership card and letters.
Google Santa tracker shares similarities with the majority of the process except that Google's site is loading much quicker due to their simple and materialistic design. The main page contains a village that also can be unlocked on a day-to-day basis.
Users can play two dancing games on their website. The timer on the mainpage indicates about when Santa will be taking off. Since Google encourages people to code, there's a special game for creating a snowflake which is challenging but innovative by the Mountain view firm.
This event will be live until Christmas where there will be special events introduced daily. There are reports that Google will unlock some new experiences on or before Christmas.
