Santa is Obviously Canadian

Ok - I read an article (see story below) on CNN's website today and I'm a little upset at their conclusion that Santa must be from Iceland. How did they come to that conclusion? They state that emails were sent to Santa in each of the eight countries that have Arctic territory and only Iceland responded. To me that suggests that Santa IS NOT from Iceland - the real Santa wouldn't have the time to respond to a stupid email - he and his elves are too busy preparing for tonight's run. How stupid can these people be.

Now - how do I know that Santa is Canadian? The top five reasons are;

1. Who else but a Canadian would give gifts to people and ask nothing in return.

2. Santa's idea of dressing up for the big night includes wearing red sweatpants - if you know anyone who lives in Northern Canada you will realize that this is an acceptable form of dress on special occasions.

3. He lives at the North Pole - which everyone knows is in Canada because that is where magnetic North exists.

4. We all know that Santa's signature call is .... Ho Ho Ho. I'm sorry but that excludes all countries that do not claim English as their first language.

5. Finally, Santa's costume is Red & White, these are the colours of our beloved flag. Look at the Icelandic flag - I'm sorry I don't see Santa wearing blue.






Iceland wins, but Nordic, other freezing countries say 'He lives here'

OSLO, Norway (Reuters) -- Santa Claus may live in Iceland -- at least if the efficiency of his helpers is a guide -- in what may help the island's drive to win hearts and tourism from Arctic rivals claiming Santa and his reindeer. Only Reykjavik replied when Reuters bureaus in all eight nations with Arctic territory wrote to Father Christmas or local gift bringers -- ranging from Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) in Russia to Julenissen in Norway -- asking: "Where do you live?"
