If you love Christmas, you’re probably curious about where Santa Claus lives and what his toy workshop looks like. Santa Claus lives at the North Pole at the northernmost tip of the globe. But why there? Listen and you’ll know!

Hi and Welcome to the advent edition of my podcast My Life and Other Funny Stories. In this edition, I bring you a new short Christmas-themed episode every day of December until Christmas. If you want to read the transcript of this episode, click the link in the description!

Santa Claus lives at the North Pole with Mrs. Claus, the elves that help him in the workshop, and all the wonderful reindeer that guide his sleigh.

Did you know that he has an exact address? Yeah, really. It’s 580 South Santa Claus Lane, North Pole, AK 99705. Unless you live in Alaska, going to the North Pole to visit Santa may be a little complicated, since it’s pretty far away from most places.

I found some reasoning behind placing Santa’s address at the North Pole.

Santa needs to stay at the North Pole because it’s one of the few places on earth that’s cold all the time. Santa has reindeer, which are animals that are native to the Arctic. Reindeer need to live in cold, snowy climates because that’s where they live their best life. If Santa moved to a tropical environment, his reindeer wouldn’t be very happy about it.

Another reason Santa stays at the North Pole is because it’s in the middle of nowhere. Santa and his elves need to work in a quiet environment to get their job done. Santa works with his elves to invent and create all the toys he will give away for Christmas. If they lived in a crowded, large city, they would never get any work done! They would be too distracted by all the sounds of traffic and people living in the city.

Last but NOT least, Santa Claus, and the elves really like the snow. Snow is strongly connected to Christmas because it snows around Christmas time in many parts of the world. Here in the Czech Republic, we used to have it but in the past few years, the snow has been a little absent, hasn’t it… By living at the North Pole, Santa and his family get to enjoy a winter wonderland year-round.

All right and now you know!
