Google's Santa Tracker Is Here

BOSTON (CBS) -- When is Santa Claus coming down your chimney? Google may have the answer.

The search engine giant seems to have exceeded lofty expectations for their annual Santa tracker.

It begins every year once the calendar turns to December and counts down through Christmas Eve when Santa Claus departs the North Pole. The tracker has a variety of activities as well as the 'latest and greatest from Google Maps technology and Sleigh Engineering.'

It's branded as having activities for K-12 student, but, adults are going to want to check this out, too. Every day, a new link is unlocked - it could be a video, a game or an educational tutorial. On top of that, there's an Android app and a Santa Tracker Google Chrome Extension.

Poor old-school Advent Calendars. Their days are numbered with competition like this.
