Betcha Didn’t Know – Where Santa’s Village is

santa vintageYes, Santa Claus really does exist — and he lives in Rovaniemi, Finland! At Santa’s Village, you can visit Santa in his workshop and watch his trusty elves building toys and decorating for the holidays. You can also stop by one of the gift shops and pick up Santa’s favorite Finnish candies or a toy from Santa’s workshop.

Apparently there is even a webcam set up to keep tabs on happenings at Santa’s Village.

In keeping with Santa’s North Pole address, Santa’s Village is located in the Finnish Lapland on the Arctic Circle. The Lapland is a region that includes northern Finland, Sweden, and Norway. It is north of the Arctic Circle, an imaginary line on the surface of the earth where the sun does not rise on the winter solstice or set on the summer solstice.
