Santa Claus is coming, and you can track him with NORAD on your Windows Phone

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town — see, it's right here on my Lumia. Christmas is just around the corner, and with the free NORAD Tracks Santa app for Windows and Windows Phone, you too can track St. Nick's progress around the planet as he delivers 25 million tons of presents to 2.2 billion children in the course of one night.

Gross violation of the laws of physics aside, NORAD Tracks Santa builds on the Microsoft holiday partnership with the North American Aerospace Defense Command with a free app for both Windows and Windows Phone.

In addition to tracking Kris Kringle as he traverses the skies, the apps also offer games, videos, and music to help pass the time.
