La casa di Babbo Natale

Buongiorno,

in questa nebbiosa mattina di fine novembre, rallegro i miei occhi e il mio spirito guardando le luci di Rovaniemi, il paese di Babbo Natale.

 "Eh si, Babbo Natale esiste!",

è cosi' che rispondo ai bambini dubbiosi che me lo chiedono.

 

Rovaniemi si trova nel punto piu' settentrionale della Lapponia,  10 Km. a sud dal Circolo Polare Artico.

 

Per chi non lo conoscesse,

esiste un luogo sul web dove possiamo Babbo Natale, vedere il suo paese in diretta con la webcam, la sua casa, i suoi aiutanti elfi al lavoro, le sue renne,

guardate:

DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS

Greetings from SantaPark, Santa’s home cavern

One year as I was returning from my long Christmas journey, I stopped for a rest on a hillside at the northern Arctic Circle. Its picturesque nature really warmed my heart. This is when I came up with a splendid idea: an underground network of caves could be made inside the hill, a place where I could welcome friends, a place with everlasting Christmas! The industrious elves worked very hard to finish the cave in no time at all, and it was given the name SantaPark, the Home Cavern of Santa Claus. This cave, overflowing with Christmas spirit, has been welcoming guests since 1998.
So many lifetime experiences await friends of Christmas in SantaPark: Elf School, Mrs Claus Gingerbread Kitchen, Santa’s Office, Four Seasons Sleigh Ride, Ice Princess Ice Gallery, Giant Snow Globe, Post Office and much more to see and do. Fooling around as they do, the elves will make sure you find what you are looking for. If you’re lucky, they may even let you in on a couple of Christmas secrets. Naturally, you will also meet me, Santa Claus. I can’t wait to chat with you and discover your gift wishes for next Christmas.
With kind regards
Santa Claus
