  • Yes he does.
  • Guys, Santa lives in Finland... Other side of the World...
  • Do not insult santa OK
  • Hello kids it's me Santa Claus! Who wants things this year? Just try not to ask for anything too heavy for Santa to carry, ok? Santa's back isn't what it used to be. And please don't get sad if I can't give you your PS3, X-box 360, or Wii because Santa can't make electronic things in his Workshop! I can't believe it's only a few weeks away, another trip around the world in one night!
  • North Pole is my hometown :) I think Santa's awesome.
