Don't forget - Carols in St John the Baptist Church tonight at 7:00pm
And Santa has tweeted that he is planning two practice runs over Shropshire this evening - the first from about 4:20 and lasting 3 minutes and the second at 5:57 lasting 4 minutes.
(times are a little approximate - he might be up to 4 minutes after these times - so keep watching)
His sleigh will be very high and travelling quite fast (of course!) so it will look like a bright star whizzing fairly low in the sky to the West. Let's hope for a clear sky!
The grown-ups might confuse him with the International Space Station, which will be passing at exactly the same time - travelling at 17,100mph and circling the Earth every 92 minutes. If you look carefully you might even see the astronauts on a space walk fixing one of their cooling pumps - but you will need VERY good eyesight!
Children can follow Santa's progress here:- http://www.noradsanta.org/
Have a good one!
