Common Questions for Santa

If you have any questions about Santa then look below. Here are some of the most common questions the children ask...

What If I don't have a Chimney?

Santa Claus is prepared for this situation. He carries a special magical trap door, which he can whip out of the sleigh and place onto any roof. He gives it a tap to make sure it's fixed, opens the trap-door and through he pops. This is also essential kit for blocks of flats and apartments. The trap door can take him down through the building, floor by floor. The chances of getting caught in the act are quite high, but Santa has had a lot of practice and he can be in and out in no time, silent as a mouse.

What if I'm not Home for Christmas?

If you think there's a chance that Santa might not find you, you could leave him a note to say where you've gone. But, try not to worry: Santa knows exactly where all children are on Christmas Eve.

How does Santa know what I want for Christmas?

All wishes are carried on the wind to the North Pole where they are collected and logged against the List of Good Children. Because you might change your mind so many times in the weeks before Christmas, the best way to ensure you get what you really want (as well as being very good of course) is to send a letter or email to Santa. Make sure you think very hard about what you'd like before sending the letter or email to Santa, though!

Will Santa Always bring what I ask for?

Santa normally brings what children ask for, but just sometimes, Santa will deliver a present that he thinks will be even better suited for a particularly good child.

Does Father Christmas Live in Lapland or the North Pole?

Only Santa and his elves know exactly where their village is, but to help keep the place secret, Santa and his elves move around a bit. Their main base is in the North Pole but they sometimes move to their second home in Lapland, Finland. Santa Claus spends a few weeks in the year in warmer places, Mrs Claus insists that they need to, as she really enjoys relaxing on the beach for a bit after the hectic Christmas season.

Will Santa Write me a Letter?

Yes, Santa often writes letters to good children. You'll need to put in a special request here though.
