This weekend will see children around the world eagerly await the arrival of Father Christmas, who will bring their presents in the middle of the night and leave them under their Christmas tree - taking a mince pie or two on his way out.
Keeping little ones believing in Santa is hard work though, especially as it means parents need to hide the presents they've bought their children in a place where no one will find them. If their kids accidentally find their presents before Christmas Day, then they'll know that Santa doesn't really come down the chimney to deliver them.
But that's exactly the dilemma one mum is facing after her five-year-old daughter happened to find the stash of presents that her mum was planning on telling her Father Christmas had delivered - and she's worried the blunder will have ruined the magic of Christmas for her youngster.
