North Pole: Santa Claus House
The Santa Claus House is a Christmas-themed retail store in North Pole, Alaska.
It was founded as a trading post alongside the Richardson Highway in 1952 by Con and Nellie Miller, shortly after North Pole itself was founded by real estate developer Everett Dahl.
The Santa Claus House served as North Pole's post office from its inception through the early 1970s. Around that same time, the business was relocated coincidental with the relocation of the Richardson Highway through North Pole. Ownership and management was passed down to sons Terry (prior to his untimely death) and Mike, who also hold the distinction of being the only brother pair who both served as president of a state senate in the United States.
Santa Claus House is known for the world's largest Santa statue and its Letters from Santa.

North Pole in Alaska gets ready for Christmas
(8 Dec 2015) LEAD-IN:
It's the town where it's Christmas all year round. North Pole, Alaska in the United States is always festive, but at this time of year it's inundated with thousands of letters from children.
But with two resident Santa Claus - who gets to open the mail?
STORY-LINE:
Festive trees glow amid the snow here in 'North Pole' .
Of course this isn't the real North Pole... it's a small town of 2,200 residents in the US state of Alaska.
Even the street lights are shaped like the candy canes - just like those that hang from Christmas trees around the world.
The signs in the town boast names like Santa Claus Lane and Snowman Lane.
Because of its reputation, each year in December thousands of letters pour in from children, hoping Santa Claus will grant them a Christmas wish.
But for the North Pole's Post Office, it's a year-round venture.
Lisa Wineland is the manager, and in order to help Santa she spends a lot of her time sifting through the mail.
She says the children: Want all the newest, latest, greatest electronics and games. It's mostly electronics, a lot of times.
So, we do open, it's addressed to us, we open them, pull the letters out. Most of them are coloured upon, have nice little pictures on them, and then the letters themselves, they always profess to being very good that year, she adds.
It's a Herculean task to process all of the mail - and during the holiday period the post office often needs to call on colleagues in nearby Anchorage to deal with the demand.
Wineland reads aloud a typical letter: This year, I would like to receive your blessing for me and my family and friends. Thanks for your effort to share happiness to others last year. Please give my love to Ms. Claus and the reindeer, especially Rudolph. Sincerely, Manke.
Tourists often head for Santa Claus House, a gift shop that stocks all-things-Christmas.
People can buy their North Pole souvenirs here, grab a sweet snack, pet a reindeer and - of course - sit on the knee of the main man himself.
Paul Brown is the operations manager here: Santa Claus House is primarily a gift shop, it's a general visitor attraction. It's a great place to visit with Santa all year round. We've got reindeer. We've got the world's largest Santa. A lot of different, fun elements, and things like that that people can come visit other than just the shopping.
Tourist Lauren Perez is visiting from Cuba: I'm coming with friends from work, and we want to see the Northern Lights, hopefully tonight, and Santa Claus. Who doesn't want to meet Santa?
One North Pole city official also boasts the name Santa Claus. He changed his given name while living in the Lake Tahoe, Nevada area.
With a name like that he figured two years ago he should live in North Pole, so made the move to Alaska.
Last year, he was elected to the city council on a write-in vote. But don't confuse this Santa with the one that sits inside Santa Claus House, asking children what they want for Christmas.
There's a serious side to this Santa Claus.
More than anything else, what I do is advocate for the two million children in the United States who are abused, neglected, exploited, abandoned, homeless, institutionalised, says Santa Claus.
Santa Claus - the councilman - says he's a Christian monk who doesn't like the commercialization of Christmas.
Because of my child advocacy, I sort of have a general aversion to the crass commercial, secular spectacle that Christmas has become, he says.
For now the scene is set for this year's holiday season - with freshly fallen snow along Santa Claus Lane.

North Pole, Alaska
Recorded July 17, 2000. This short video begins as I drive into the community of North Pole, Alaska and ends with my visit to Santa Claus House.
From:
Santa’s Workshop In North Pole, NY
We are so in love with Santa's Workshop in the Lake Placid area of upstate New York! This was our first year visiting and we are sure to return as a yearly tradition. Opened in July 1, 1949, Santa's Workshop is the oldest theme park in the United States. From what I have read, it hasn't changed much since opening and it retains a charm that appeals to all ages. The kiddo was truly enchanted! There are buildings to explore and various characters to meet, including the big man himself! The rides appeal to the under 4 ft crowd. In the snow the place is really magical and a fun day out. And only a couple hours from Montreal. Highly recommend visiting in the Christmas season!

END OF THE ALASKA HIGHWAY - RICHARDSON HIGHWAY - SANTA CLAUS HOUSE - NORTH POLE - LeAw Vlog #052
Welcome to our channel! We are Sara and Luca, Italian couple and travel storytellers!
Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to this channel so you don't miss out on future adventures.
Day 7 since we started traveling on the Alaska Highway (or Alcan Highway).
After crossing the border between Canada and Alaska. We made a few quick stops:
The first one at the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center.
The second one ate the Tok Mainstreet Alaska Visitors Center or Civic Center. The beautiful log building houses also the Tok Chamber of Commerce and the Tok Library.
The third on at Delta Junction Visitor Center and at the End of the Alaska Highway monument.
Delta Junction is the official end of the Alaska Highway. When the pioneer road was built in 1942, it extended approximately 1,480 miles from the railhead at Dawson Creek, in British Columbia, to a junction with the Richardson Highway, 100 miles southeast of Fairbanks. The Richardson Highway --Alaska's first road-- was built by the Alaska Road Commission in 1910; it connected Valdez to Fairbanks. The Richardson Highway between Delta Junction and Fairbanks became an extension of the Alaska Highway in 1942, as construction crews worked south to Tok and the Alaska border, using Fairbanks as the railhead to supply men and equipment.
The fourth one at Santa Claus House, home of the Original Letter from Santa. Authentic North Pole postmark.
And the last stop, at 10:30 pm, at Fairbanks, and there is still light coming from me sky!
Are you ready to travel with us?
Leave everything and wander” is the result of Sara Bertagnolli’s and Luca Sguazzini’s desire to join their own skills and realize a dream: that of traveling, leaving the certainties and securities of everyday life behind.
After university Sara achieved high-level professional goals in the field of management and became the personal assistant to the fashion designer Philipp Plein.
Luca has been traveling a lot since he was a child and the last year he gained notoriety for his participation in the Italian version of “Dancing with the stars”; he has more than 138k followers on Instagram and 50k on Facebook.
They have decided to join forces and to tell a life out of the ordinary on social networks. The plan is to travel through Canada, Alaska and, in a second moment, United States, Messico and South America and to share the trip’s photos and videos on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram, giving to everyone the possibility to experience the “wander-spirit”.
Traveling without temporal or spatial limits will give Sara and Luca the possibility to entangle their story with that of people they will meet on the road and to discover new cultures, visiting also the places which are not famous, the ones which often have the biggest surprises in store.
The start-up budget will be limited in order to demonstrate that – also without great economical resources – everything is possible if you put the work in and involve as many people as possible.

This includes footage of outdoor displays at Delta Junction visitor center, photos of Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska and the pipeline. Tomlin appears at the end.

Why Nobody Can Survive in the North Pole
A lot of expeditions have mysteriously ended in disasters. In the past, many ships got stuck on the ice, and people were stranded. Some ships have sunk and were never found. Not to mention that the Arctic Ocean underneath is still relatively unexplored. Did you know that even though the South Pole is colder than the North Pole, it gets approximately 20,000 visitors per year? Whereas the North Pole only gets about 1,000, including expeditioners. Why is that?
We’ve managed to explore almost all of our planet’s land, including all the inhospitable locations. And the North Pole made that list. So, what makes this place so dangerous? Why would Santa Claus choose to make this place his headquarters? What’s really going on there? Let’s try to figure it out!

#northpole #arctic #brighrside
SUMMARY:
- The ice is approximately 6 to 10 feet thick, and it’s floating in an ocean that’s anywhere from 3,500 to 18,000 feet deep.
- Even though the North Pole is literally ice, it’s actually warmer than the South Pole.
- The North Pole is ice surrounded by land, and the South Pole is land surrounded by ice. The waters underneath the North Pole are warmer than the floating ice – and the ocean warms up the air a bit.
- The North Pole has more complicated entry barriers. The main one is that it doesn’t have a fixed location. It’s just large chunks of ice that constantly move around the Artic Ocean.
- Imagine you’re walking in the woods and you get lost. Your best chance out of there is a compass. But, if you’re in the North Pole, then you’re in big trouble.
- Speaking of not being able to find your way out of there: figuring out what time it is can also be an issue in the North Pole.
- No-one really lives in the North Pole; even Inuit people who live in the surrounding Artic Regions of Russia, Greenland and Canada have never made it their home.
- There’s no drinkable water at the North Pole. Early Artic Explorers had a hard time dealing with thirst. In fact, finding water in the Artic is as difficult as finding water in the desert.
- Speaking of survival, there’s no vegetation in the North Pole. Trees require soil, and since the North Pole is a large block of ice, it doesn’t allow any plants to grow.
- Artic Foxes, Polar Bears, and many other terrestrial animals don’t often migrate to the North Pole, because it can be an unpredictable environment.
- Polar Bears are the largest bears on earth, and they can only survive in the freezing weather of the Artic.
- Scientists now believe that in 50 years there’ll be no Ice in the North Pole during the summer, and they’re carrying out expeditions to research things further.
