"Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas" Calvin Coolidge

It's time for some information on the North Pole. If you're like me, you think it's just part of that childhood vision of Santa and the magical place he resides. Well, that's partially the truth.

North Pole
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Or at least there is a North Pole where Santa is said to live! Travel fourteen miles south of Fairbanks Alaska along the Richardson Highway, and you will pass right through North Pole, Alaska.
