It's a busy time for Santa and his elves as they load up his sleigh ready for his annual big trip!

Of course he'll have travelled much of the world before he gets to UK shores, visiting good children across many other countries before he arrives here.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command has a handy Santa tracker so you and your children can watch as he makes his way ever closer on Christmas Eve.

You can pinpoint him on the map as he delivers presents to children across the world, and work out when he's likely to be on your roof.

So, don't forget to have his glass of sherry and mince pie ready for him - and a carrot for the reindeer of course!
