Journal Entry

This one is for all the students that have brought up Santa on my journey to the Arctic. The North Pole does exist, and its here in Alaska.

Even the street names were all Christmas themed in this town like St. Nicolas Dr and Santa Claus Lane in this little town.

We visited Santa Claus' house and saw hundreds of letters that children all around the world had sent here. There were ornaments and helpers galore inside Santa's house and outside there was a a 42 ft fiberglass Santa Statue. Inside, you could even sit on Santa's chair!

Down the street from Santa Claus' house there was a stall filled with all his reindeer that you could photograph and pet.

I'm not sure that Roee is sure about that reindeer kiss! ;) Were there any reindeer calves there?
