Officials with the Air Force say that the Big Man usually reaches Michigan between 9 p.m. and midnight — but could get here a early as 8 p.m.
Chief Master Sargent John Storms offered some tips for every kid.
"I think it's always exciting to go out and try and see if you can spot Santa. But if you want Santa to show up at your house, number one: Listen to your parents, and get to bed at a decent hour," Storms said.
Children worldwide can call 1-877-HI-NORAD (1-877-446-6723) to ask live operators about Santa’s location. There's also a web-based calling option so children without the means to reach NORAD via phone number can call the NORAD Tracks Santa Operations Center directly from our noradsanta.org website.
There's also a NORAD Santa tracker app, as well as a live tracker on their website. The website is available in nine languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese and Korean.
