When Will Santa Reach the Springs?
With the help of NORAD, we're following Santa Claus as he makes his way west toward Powder Springs and Lithia Springs.
Check out this link to see what Santa Claus sees as he makes his round-the-world trip on Christmas Eve, thanks to the Air Force's North American Aerospace Defense Command, known everywhere as NORAD.
You also can follow Santa's progress on the interactive map above.
According to NORAD, Santa should get to Powder Springs and Lithia Springs between 9 p.m. and midnight.

Last year, NORAD handled more than 80,000 calls about Santa's progress, The Washington Post reports.
