Question: Why is it a bad idea to follow Santa on search engines or military websites or apps?

Because they really don’t know where Santa is. They are not connected to the North Pole. They do not have the technology to accurately track how fast Santa is moving. They also don’t know the story of Santa and all he, the elves, the reindeer and others at the North Pole have gone through and are experiencing in just getting Santa around the world.

Question: Why do I have to go to bed just a few hours before Santa gets to my neighborhood?

Santa wants to get to everyone. If you stay up you will want to “host” Santa – feed him cookies, wish him a Merry Christmas, maybe rub his feet and give him some eggnog. While Santa would really love that is it practical to think he has the time to socialize? It would take him months to get around the world! Santa will let you know when it is time to get to bed so he can do his job.

Question: Why is it still daylight when I track Santa?

Question: Does Santa use the same reindeer the whole trip?

Sometimes, yes. If everything goes well Santa’s “A-team” of reindeer can go the whole way with him. It has happened many times. But Santa has a back-up team of reindeer and then a back-up team to the back-up team. They are always ready to help should Santa require it.
