Meeting Santa Claus

We travel to the Arctic Circle where Santa lives. Receiving hundreds of thousands of letters per year from children around the world, Hamish is after an explanation for a letter he sent many years ago.

Santa Claus!
Hamish enjoyed his chat with Santa and Andy just wants to snuggle into that glorious white beard

Time for Hamish to take his letter to Santa...
It's amazing to see the contrast what kids want in Eastern countries compared with Western ones
Last Christmas (2011) Santa received about 550,000 letters
At Christmas time Santa can get about 32,000 letters per day

It's Christmas every day in Santa town!
Santa Claus has so far received about 15,500,000 letters from 198 different countries.
Hamish has unfinished business with Santa; he never responded to this childhood letter!
