But have you ever wondered what I get up to when December’s been and gone? This year, I’ve got a new webpage right here on the Santa’s Lapland site to keep all my friends around the world posted on what I’ve been doing, all the way up to Christmas. I bet you didn’t know that being Santa’s a full-time job, 365 days of the year! Of course, it’s seven months to go until I do my most important job on the 24th December but I’m no slacker – if I’m not interviewing elves for a prestigious job in my workshop, I’m grooming the reindeer or making sure my hot chocolate recipe is just right for all the visitors I get over Christmas. Still, even Santa needs his days off! Like many of the locals here in Lapland, I enjoy lots of outdoor activities like golf and barbecues in the summer when the sun doesn’t set ‘til late (or not at all in June!) I like a holiday as much as everyone else and this year, Mrs Claus and I are dreaming of somewhere with lots of tropical beaches… Once autumn comes around, I’ll be getting ready for Christmas again – phew! So if you want to find out what it’s like being Santa for the rest of the year, don’t forget to drop in at my new page. Or maybe you have some suggestions for where we should go on holiday this year, or a new hobby I should try? Tweet me @SantasLapland to share your ideas!
