What does santa live

Well keep reading then! Everyone knows Santa Claus lives at the North Pole! But where exactly in Canada is it? After all, there is more than one North Pole in Canada! I didn't tell you that! Well, that's another one of Santa's secrets. There's the cold, cold North Pole at the Top of the World. But people forget there's also the Magnetic North Pole. Could it be that all those compasses point to Santa's Worksho I'll never tell! Ok, ok, Santa Claus does have other places around the world. I'll tell you about them too.

Why do I suddenly feel a bit like his travel agent? He does visit them every year kind of like having summer homes -- does he think he's Brad Pitt or something? But I like staying at the North Pole.

I'm nice and grumpy right here, thank you very much! Did you know Santa Claus even has a home in China now? In a lovely national park he always finds the time to visit with children. I just hope he doesn't outsource all the work to the Chinese elves!

They did make an amazing ice sculpture though. I'm just grumpy I'm not good at ice sculptures. Guess I'll just stick to making Snow Grumpies that's what I call snow angels. This is Santa's original hometown! It's called Demre now. It's where Saint Nicholas was born when he was only known as Nicholas. He doesn't get back there as often any more. But, I figured you'd want to know about it anyway, otherwise you'd be grumpy with me. Where does Father Christmas live?

This is one of Father Christmas's favourite places. There's lots of reindeer around and even a special mountain. Uncle Markus explained about the special mountain called Korvatunturi or Ear Mountain.

The mountain looks like a big set of rabbit ears. Of course, the elves figured out long ago how to use the ears to listen to which children around the world were being naughty.

That Santa must be near the North Pole not on it! Looking at this map we can see the land masses around the North Pole. They are Canada, Russia, Alaska, Greenland, and a few small islands. Many consider Rovaniemi, which is the capital Lapland, Finland, to be the official home of Santa Claus. Just like Rovaniemi, this town in Alaska is open year round for visitors. But unlike Rovaniemi, North Pole, Alaska is a real town with a city hall, residents, and other city like resources.

So what does all that mean? That you can live here! The Fact Site requires you to enable Javascript to browse our website. Is Santa in Lapland? Children and families are welcome to visit Santa in Lapland days a year. Is Santa in the North Pole? Is Santa in Greenland? However… Saint Nicholas, the historic figure who inspired the lovable character of Santa Claus, was born in Turkey and spent his life there. Big Questions , Christmas.
