EAGLE-EYED children will be able to catch a glimpse of Santa flying over Essex tonight.
His elves have given us secret details of his sleigh's route, as he flies around the world on Christmas Eve.
The shimmering lights of his sleigh will be visible over Essex early in the evening - but only very briefly.
If the sky is clear, the light will be visible over Essex at 5.21pm as Father Christmas and his reindeer deliver presents to children all over Essex, England, Europe and the rest of the world.
- To see Santa, look up into the sky in a south/south-westerly direction and you should see him fly for one minute
Be punctual though - the lights will be visible for less than a minute from Essex, before Santa jets off out of view.
A few killjoys, scientists and Santa-deniers will try to tell you the light is actually the International Space Station - but don't be fooled by their scurrilous claims!
