You and your little ones may be able to see 'Santa's sleigh' flying over Edinburgh and the Lothians on Christmas Day morning this year.
It will mean a bit of an early start - but no doubt you'll be up with the kids eagerly wanting to open their presents anyway.
Santa's sleigh, or the International Space Station, will be visible over Edinburgh at 6.54am on Wednesday, December 25.
You will be looking for a shining light, which looks like a moving star (Rudolph's bright nose) and will travel across the sky for three minutes.
Of course this all depends on the weather and the sky being clear (which so far is looking hopeful), but you've got more chance to catch it than last year when its visibility window was just two minutes.
You will be able to spot the ISS at other times too, but you won't be able to use the Santa line that day.
When can I see the International Space Station above Edinburgh?
