Tonight, millions of children around the world will watch for his arrival. From his village of Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland, Santa Claus has finally loaded his sleigh from his hood overflowing with gifts, to begin his great journey across the planet. According to images released by the local Lapland tourist office, the man in red has just started his traditional tour, accompanied by his loyal reindeer. From Paris to New York, via Rio and Sydney, Santa Claus will once again have to defy the laws of physics, traveling in a single night several hundred million km to spoil nearly 2 billion children.
For the more curious, it is even possible to follow the supersonic team of Santa Claus live.
Every year, dozens of applications such as Google's “Santa tracker” make it possible to see in real time where the man with the white beard is.
We can know his next stop, the number of gifts left and even his reactions after eating cookies found at the foot of a tree.
At 3 p.m. French time, he had already passed through Australia and was in Asia.
A little more impatience… And merry Christmas!
