Crimbo is getting nearer – and soon Santa will be filling up his sleigh ready to start his trip around the world. Children young and old will be eagerly waiting in anticipation for his arrival. Santa well be ready for his seasonal treat of a mince pie and carrot for reindeer left out at each household.
And, getting a glimpse of Santa’s slight in the night sky over Yorkshire has become much easier as NASA unveils the big man’s Christmas morning rounds. The space agency has given the exact time that you can look up into the night sky to have a gander.
