Every winter during Christmas, this mysterious man ventures throughout the world, bearing gifts. We put up stockings near chimneys, leave cookies on the table and hide in the kitchen to see if we can try and catch. After a long night of no Santa, there are somehow always gifts under the tree in the morning. Well, all our childhood Christmases passed in this fashion with Santa Claus being one sneaky man! What would you do if I tell you Santa Claus does live in the North Pole and that the Santa Clause has been found? Santa Claus village in Rovaniemi, Finland‘s Lapland is supposedly where Papa Christmas lives. Nobody can battle with that fact because this village is like no other. Perpetual snow keeps drizzling and reindeer trot around aimlessly. Snow covered house lanes are bordered by pine trees dripping needles of ice. Every inch of it claims, ‘Winter‘. Have a look, you’ll know!

He dwells right here..inside this cottage with Mrs Claus and a hundred other elves, just like in the movies.

And this is what the interiors look like.

Hangout with him any day if you wish to, every day for the rest of the year too; just to keep that party spirit going. Tame a reindeer and take as many selfies with them as you want.
