Even chucks of space rock are heading over to earth for some Christmas pie today.
An 2km wide asteroid named 2003 SD220 (catchy name), will fly by Earth to say hi tonight, so get out your telescopes for a unique Christmas Day experience.
It will be travelling a little faster then Santas sleigh, moving at a massive 27km per second!
No need for doomsday preparations just yet however, the asteroid will be 10.6 million km from Earth, about 27 times Earth-Moon distance.
