Google has updated its Santa Tracker app, which has become an annual tradition around this time of the year. According to the listing in the Google Play Store and a new blog post from Google, the app this year includes a new Elf Maker. This will allow you (and your kids) to create your own customized Elf by picking out his clothes, hairstyle, and accessories. You can even give your Elf facial hair if you so desire.

The app will also feature some new Gboard stickers to make your chats "merry and bright," according to the Play Store listing. Several games have been updated along with Santa's Village, and Google tells us that advanced technologies used by Ms. Claus allows the app to run faster and take up less space on your phone this year. She is obviously the brains behind this outfit.

On Christmas Eve, once the countdown clock shows zeroes across the board, users will be able track Santa as he makes his annual journey around the world delivering gifts to boys and girls.
