The results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:
Where does Santa Claus live?
He's retired to Florida. Amazon do all his deliveries nowadays - 49%
North Pole - 23%
Lap's retired to Florida. Amazon do all his deliveries nowadays - 49%
Other, please specify - 14%
Ho hum, I tend to disagree. The only evidence we have for Florida is a cheesy TV film sequel starring Steve Guttenberg. Most Xmas films assume he lives at the North Pole but this is surely nonsense, that area is constantly being spied on by satellites and criss-crossed by explorers/'climate researchers'. It's fairly thin ice, so he would be restricted to very light buildings and cannot hide under the surface.
Which leaves Lapland as the least unlikely place, it being a suitably large and vaguely defined area of northern Scandinavia, sparsely populated with fairly good tree coverage and fur coats and reindeers aplenty.
Please note: pointing out that Santa Claus is a mythical/fictitious character is missing the point.
