#5. Santa Claus is Canadian
Yes, Santa Claus has Dutch origins, but Santa has lived in the North Pole since the 1850’s and, in fact, has a Canadian address, complete with the coolest postal code ever. The address is:
Santa Claus
North Pole H0H 0H0
Canada
(NOTE: This is a legitimate address and if you (or your kid) send a letter you’ll get a response. There is also a USA address that will get a response, but this is NOT Santa’s real address, North Pole, Alaska is simply his US headquarters. The North Pole of Earth is technically in Canada)
After a 160+ years of living in Canada, I think it’s safe (and fair) to call Santa Claus a Canadian. And, really, who is going to argue that fact with a jolly, fat guy who brings gifts to you and asks for nothing in return (by which I mean me, who brings you the gift of hockey articles and asks nothing in return…)
