The North Pole

Connie ........

Traveling north from Fairbanks we arrived at the North Pole.  It is a real town and Santa really does live there; along with Mrs. Claus and his reindeer.  During the other 364 days of the year Santa is available for visits and photos at The Santa Claus House.  Santaland is decorated with everything Christmas and goodies available for purchase.  There are lots and lots of wonderful items.  We did not see Mrs. Claus, as she was busy taking care of her everyday duties.  We did however enjoy seeing some of the reindeer.  Ruldolph was taking a nap in his house; resting up for his big night no doubt.

Our campground was located just next door so we were able to walk over and browse around.  Everyone is very friendly and obviously proud of this famous little town.

The official greeting to Santa's House.

This was a beautiful mural created from ceramic tiles on the Santa Claus House

Yes, this is really Santa.  We visited with him and  talked about our grandchildren.  Of course he already knows who they are!

This is Dancer.

and here is Comet.
