North Pole

All is silent.

No sleighs. No large bags full of goodies. There is no movement whatsoever. I’ll be watching for next year.

To meet Santa, of course.

Actually, while working as a librarian for Special Collections (at a major university whose name you would know if I chose to reveal it) I ran across some journals and letters from the late 1800s. Everything was in (sloppy handwritten) Norwegian, but after hours of translation I had a decent translation.

They confirm the existence of Santa’s Workshop, complete with elves, reindeer, and toys. It also confirms that major world governments (mainly the British Empire) shield/protect Father Christmas’ existence.

More to follow.

I would love to travel to the Poles so that I could hop around the International Dateline saying, “Now it’s Tuesday! Now it’s Wednesday! Now it’s Tuesday! Now it’s Wednesday!”

But, then again, if I went to the much colder South Pole, I could see penguins.

What a dilemma!

Oh, well, I’ll go to Australia and see penguins.

to visit santa… and take good pictures!!

I WANNA MEET SANTA!!! :D

Hmmm … thats strange – in the pictures of the North Pole … there’s no Santa, elves, or a pole saying ‘North Pole.’

GRRRRR … those aren’t really pictures of the North Pole. Cuz if they were Santy Claus would be there :P

Santa or no Santa I love the idea of such a random landmark becoming so significant to our culture and would be pleased to have reached it.

i suppose. i want to see if there’s actually a pole. because there really is a south pole. i want to see if things are actually melting up there. i want to see if santa does have a workshop. yeah, i said it.

24 hours of daylight! What a blast! Golf on an ice shelf, a quick swim in the arctic, hiking, storms, etc!
