As their website says 'Santa always waves [at the planes], he loves to see the pilots'...
I can already see that he's stopped off here by looking under the tree, but wanted to see how far he'd gone since then. This is how it looked a few minutes ago when he was in Portland:
See it for yourself here or, for those of you who'd like to, you can also call NORAD's Santa Tracking Station on 877 HI-NORAD from within the US or +1 (719) 556-5211. Seriously!
