The announcement was made on the Google PR Blog a short time ago … and the cross-posted to the Official Google Blog.

Google has taken a long-time Internet tradition and enhanced it … just in time for Christmas.

NORAD has been tracking Santa on the Internet for over a decade. For many, it has become an online tradition. Links to the official Santa government website have been increasing exponentially each year.

Google has just made Santa a little cooler (if that’s possible?!), adding a plug in for Google Earth, Santa on your cellphone, and more.

Have some fun with the kids over the next day or two (or become one again yourself?).

Details and links are here (with a little Google Video below).

From our family to yours …. Happy Holidays to all!
