why is santa at the north pole?

[backbreaker]

my son earlier today asked me where does santa live and of course i told him the north pole. him being just 3 said he wanted to go see santa and i told him we couldn't because it's far away and very cold.

then i started thinking about it. you know from a factual standpoint lol wouldn't it make more sense if santa was in the south pole? i mean the north pole really isn't even a body of land it's in the middle of the ocean. i can't tell you how long i thought Antarctica was the north pole because that's where santa lived lol.

wouldn't it make more sense to have santa in the south pole where there is an actual body of land?

just thought i found that amusing. i mean any kid that has an inkling of knowledge about the continues can figure out that santa can't live in the middle of the ocean.

It’s certainly rational to present your reasoning, and I would agree, although since Santa is a creature of folklore who doesn’t exist, it could be argued (mythologically speaking) he would exist somewhere where he couldn’t exist. This would ensure he could never be found, if an expedition of kids embarked on a boat trying to find him. Since the ice on the north pole is constantly shifting, you could always say his house and reindeer floated to somewhere else. (Or if you were really cruel, “Santa drowned.”)

(On a little more serious note, the North Pole is easily accessible to large swaths of Canada and Russia, whereas Antartica is limited to the tip of South America and Australia, so the North Pole makes strategic sense for distribution routes.)

Well you have to understand the pegan origin of crusifixion of Jesus first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZgT1SRcrKE

Then you have to understand that atlantians came from a contitent that existed over the north pole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVlP7oSXLTk

Then you have to realize that the story of santa is based on north mythology and that Odin is very similar to santa. Thus, santa lives in the north pole because he is from Atlantis.


Ironic, isn't it, that the story of santa supposedly takes origin in 1820s, right around time when the world sees major esoteric books written!


Santa comes from North pole around time when the sun stops moving in the sky and brings gifts. So santa arrives during certain earth orbit position and he brings with him gifts. Sounds like a space ship arrived and brough with them stuff - perhaps to repopulate earth after the war of gods, or maybe to resuply an existing colony.


Know why prior, during, and after majority of major catastrofies there are UFOs in the area? (for example fakushima) It's a weapon build into parallel dimension with ours, which is designed to minimize catastrofies and help us evolve. They found carvings that show dinasaurs and humans living side by side. Our world is very very ancient.

Santa lives at the North Pole so it's easier to make a "bizniss trip" away from the Mrs. and get a Scandinavian girl to sit on his lap. If he lived at the South Pole, the only thing he would get on his lap would be penguins.

I always though the north pole got picked because people north of the equator made him up, and for those of us north of the equator, the further north you go, the colder it gets. That makes sense to me.

P.S. - Ever see those maps of the world upside down? The ones that question our perspective of what north, south, east, and west are. Santa could very well live at the south pole because the south pole could be considered the north pole based on perspective.

Follow me?

He lives there because it's the most isolated place that is closest to the majority of houses he has to deliver presents to.

Can you imagine having to fly all the way back to the South pole every time he has to reload the sleigh. Major hassle!

Don't be trying to second guess Santa's methods BB. The guy has been around a long time and obviously knows his sh!t.

He lives there because one of his elves bought Superman's old place, at a foreclosure auction, for a very reasonable price.
