Christmas Eve is celebrated on December 24, the day before the Christmas remembrance of the birth of Jesus. Popular activities include attending church services, opening gifts and dining with family and friends. This is also the night when Santa Claus delivers presents to children across the globe.
In fact, it is even possible to track Santa thanks to The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), which uses Google Earth to simulate the journey of Santa Claus as he travels from the North Pole to deliver gifts to children around the world. In past years, the tracker has been used more than one billion times from 210 different countries. -
