He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, Santa’s on his way to London tonight.

London’s acting mayor, Shawn Lewis, has issued a letter allowing Santa to fly through the city’s airspaces tonight.

This last-minute decision will allow Santa to arrive in London just before midnight, as he brings thousands of presents for all the local children on his nice list.

He’s already delivered over a billion presents across the world, including several lumps of coal for the naughty children.

The permission to use London’s airspaces ends Dec. 24, just in time for Santa to deliver each present before Christmas.
