Does Santa use GPS?

'Tis the season to be jolly... and wonder how Santa Claus gets around the world in just one night, getting every child's address right, especially considering that the world population gets bigger and bigger every year. The world today counts around 7,2 billion and around 31% are Christians, so that's a pretty large number of kids to visit in just one night!

Does he use a GPS to get around? Maybe... It would definitely make sense, considering the daunting responsibility that rests on his shoulders, so that option makes sense to me, technically speaking. But thinking that he's been around for so long, and that there's definitely magic involved with everything Santa does, at heart I believe he prefers the old-fashioned stellar navigation.

Whichever the case, there's a few websites that let you keep track of Santa's progress through the Christmas night, so you can stay up and wait for him with cookies and milk and ask for yourself about how he navigates the skies; here's to list just a few:

Google's Santa tracker  - personally my favorite :) 
NORAD's website

Santa did his job really well this yeas, as always, so he's taking his well-deserved break till the preparations begin for next season. And the mystery still remains as to how he gets around the whole globe in just one night...
I may not have gone where I wanted to go, but I'm sure I ended up where I needed to be.
