Our Audience with Mr. Claus

We stopped by to visit Santa at his village near Rovaniemi, Finland. He has a nice office, pictured, and he’s gone digital, so you can get your photo handed to you on an official Santa 2GB USB flash drive. That obviously comes as no surprise because, according to the tourist magazine:

“Santa has always been at the forefront of technical development, so his data communications and transport services have always been ahead of their time. Quite possibly mobile phones and communicators have actually been invented in Santa’s secret research Laboratory.”

While visiting make sure to pick up a nice shiv from Marttiini, “the official knife factory of Santa Claus.” I presume these are the same knives Santa’s elves use to butcher his reindeer before they serve them in his restaurant.

    Hey guys! Thanks for posting the video! I agree with Josh P…it just makes me really happy for some reason. I don’t know if it’s stern, questioning Santa or his beautiful footies or the eerily dark workshop…probably a mix of three! Glad to see you guys are being good! ;)

    Actually, I think he says “Pittsburgh Penguins.” Hockey is big in Finland.

    Am I the only one who thinks that Santa was scary? He was an inquisitor! I would have been afraid to answer his questions wrong. Apparently you passed. Look for your stockings in Morocco.
