5 Thrifty Things To Do With The Children This Christmas______________________________________
Nasa ISS Space Station
Last year Maxwell was very impressed when he spotted Santa flying over our house on his sleigh on Christmas Eve. Santa passed just before bedtime and Maxwell thought that it was simply magical. Little did Maxwell known, in actual fact it was not "Santa" that was flying over our house but the NASA International Space station. This Christmas it will be flying over our house again on Christmas Eve and I am desperate to view it again with Maxwell, so Maxwell can have that magical Christmas Eve experience.
When the International Space Station passes over it will appear as an incredibly bright star like object. It is a bright object that may appear brighter than the moon. As the station rises (from a westerly direction) it usually gets brighter but can be a challenge to spot at first. You can use NASA's Spot the Station tool to work out when exactly you can see the International Space Station, based on the location of your nearest town/city.______________________________________
Coca-Cola Truck
This year the family favorite Coca-Cola truck is visiting 46 locations around the UK. Although the tour has started why not drop over to the Coca-Cola website to see if the Coca-Cola truck and the team are visiting you?
This year the Coca-Cola truck is promising to entertain you, your family and friends.  There will be chances to take selfies, pictures and create memories when the truck lights up and you are able to do this whilst enjoying a choice of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coke Zero or Coke Life.______________________________________
Royal Mail Santa Letter

Royal Mail offer a (nearly) free service which cost's just the price of a stamp which ensures Santa get's your child's Christmas letter. If your child is one of the lucky ones, sometimes the Royal Mail Santa will even drop your child a letter back in reply to their Christmas letter.
