has disappeared again. That's because this Christmas he has the very important job on
0:03
GB News of keeping track of Father Christmas as he makes his way across the world, ready to drop
0:09
presents in the UK at about midnight this evening. So, Tom, where's Father Christmas got to now
0:16
Well, as you can see, Olivia, Father Christmas is currently going through a fairly dark patch
0:21
Fear not, he's not gone into space. No, he's actually above the ocean. He's been in Japan
0:27
in the last few minutes and is heading towards South Korea as we speak
0:32
Perhaps we can zoom out a little bit and just see the sort of scale of the world there
0:37
He's got a vast, big world to cover, and it does actually surprise some people
0:41
that so much of the Earth is covered by oceans. So he's got a bit of travelling to do, but you can just see the south tip of South Korea
0:49
up here at the top of the map. And Father Christmas, this little tiny speck down here
0:53
he's got a lot of children's homes to cover. But, of course, he'll be doing it right throughout the day and night
1:00
It is after midnight in this part of the world, and that is why Father Christmas is getting ready
1:04
to fill those stockings with all of his presents, of course, accompanied by his many reindeer as he does it
1:10
We're going to be following him throughout the day and as that sort of daylight shifts around the world
1:17
As day turns to night, Father Christmas will follow. We'll be following and covering it all here on GB News
1:23
Well, thank you very much to Tom Harwood, our deputy political editor
1:28
with his political hat off and his elf hat on this Christmas
