The big day is upon us - Christmas Eve is tomorrow, and if you've got little ones in your house, they're surely getting pumped for jolly ol' St. Nick to make his rounds. Although your kids (or nieces, nephews, cousins) can't meet Santa face to face, you can keep the magic alive by tracking the big guy all night with some help from Google.

Online - Norad is tracking Santa on Google Earth in 3D! Keep track of his whereabouts starting tomorrow and throughout Christmas Day.
On the Phone - Dial Norad's official Santa tracking hotline (1-877-Hi-NORAD) to get updates from phone operators on flight preparations and location.
Via email - Shoot an email over to Norad's Santa inbox (noradtrackssanta@gmail.com) to get a message back with his current location.
On Twitter - Follow the NoradSanta Twitter feed for live updates on Kris Kringle's whereabouts.
On Facebook - Check out videos from around the globe and get up to the minute info on Santa's sleigh on the official Facebook page.
Get a Call - Excite your little ones with a call from Santa, or let them leave the jolly man a message on his own Google Voice number.
