I Believe

I believe in the Christmas spirit and it is alive and well here in the North Pole. image People here are so friendly and look at what their census is.image   Reindeer, with their velvety antlers, are loosing their winter coats. I was able to feel the antlers and it really does feel like velvet. image     Santa has his home here and even wanted to talk to us big girls. image    The picture of Santa’s house was taken at 1:30 am, that is about as dark as it gets right now.   image       The streets have special names image image         and are lined with candy canes for street lights. image                       There really is an actual North Pole here. This pole was dropped from an airplane at the geographic North Pole in 1951, the pole was not found until 1972, and then erected here in 1976. image      image              Even the Senior Center is cute,image       as well as the visitor center.image      Notice the sod covered roof. That was the traditional way to roof your home. There are homes from the original homestead that are still being lived in now and one is being used as a radio station. image      This is how you would store your food and keep it safe from animals way back then.image            Yes, friends the North Pole is an adorable little town and I want to remind you that:image
