With just one sleep until Christmas, your household will likely be bursting with excitement.
St Nick is due to pop down chimneys and use his magic keys on doors across Scotland tonight - and now you can track him as he heads off on his journey.
Before your little ones head off to bed for the night you can let them see where Santa is on his route via the Norad Track Santa app.
The site lets you see where Father Christmas is on his epic 41-million mile route across the globe.
Parents can login any time from around 11am GMT on Christmas Eve to track Santa and his reindeer and count how many gifts he's delivered so far.
Santa will set off on his journey from his home in the North Pole, before heading to his first stop at the Republic of Kiribati in the central Pacific Ocean visiting 390,000 homes per minute - that’s 6.424 per second.
Then he'll head off to New Zealand and Australia to pop presents under the trees of boys and girls there before zooming over to Asia and Africa and then finally arriving in the UK.
After dishing out all his gifts and filling up on mince pies, cookies, milk and whisky, he will then head across the Atlantic, with his reindeer; Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.
More than nine million people are set to watch him make his amazing journey which will end in Canada, the USA and Mexico and finally South America.
The NORAD Santa tracker began in 1955 in America, after an advertisement misprinted the telephone number for children to call Santa.
NORAD stands for the North American Aerospace Defense Command. As a pretty important organisation, they are responsible for keeping tabs on all US and Canadian airspace.
Instead of reaching Santa, the misprinted phone number put youngsters through to NORAD.
The Director of Operations at the time, Colonel Harry Shoup, had his staff check the radar for indications of Santa making his way south from the North Pole.
Children who called were given updates on his location, and the tracker was born. Before it became an interactive tool, children could find out where Santa was by calling the NORAD hotline in December.
On Christmas Eve click here to watch as Santa begins his journey at the North Pole - or download the NORAD Track Santa app to track him.
If you have Amazon Alexa, you can ask for Santa's location through the NORAD Tracks Santa skill for at any time on December 24.
