Where is Santa’s hometown and what’s in Santa’s hometown?

At the end of each year, people all over the world look forward to Christmas (also known as Christmas, Noel – the celebration of the birth of Jesus, the founder of Christianity. But in fact, many people who do not share the same religion, especially children, are also looking forward to this day, because they believe or want to believe that on Christmas, there will be Santa Claus giving gifts.

According to legend, Santa Claus resides in the North Pole. On the night of December 24 every year, Santa Claus with a round belly and a white beard will wear a red suit and ride a reindeer to go from house to house, dropping gifts for good children through the chimney.

Santa Claus is the most awaited person during Christmas.

The theory of Santa Claus handed down for many years has become a belief and a sweet expectation for children every year-end. Many children even write letters to Santa and ask their parents to send them to the North Pole. But actually, Santa Claus is not exactly a legend, or at least since 1985.
