Riding his camel, Santa Claus, a Palestinian with a red suit and a white beard, roams the streets of the Old City of Jerusalem, greeting people and wishing them a Merry Christmas.

NORAD, the agency tasked with guarding North American airspace, broadcasts its “Santa Tracker”, allowing the public to follow the progress of a computer generated Santa Claus on his airborne sleigh.

More than 7,000 people dressed as Santa Claus ran through central Madrid on Sunday (December 10) in a charity race to raise money for cancer patients.
