A special security detail keeps track of Russian manned ice-stations set up near the North Pole, as well as tourists who y in. The village remains shielded through unspecied technology that involves mirrors and popcorn. The complex was once home to 1,500 elves, but thanks to outsourcing and robotics, only 22 are now needed for toy production.

The North Pole was not his rst choice for a secret factory lair. He originally set up shop in Florida, but found the elves kept calling in sick to go surng.

What you never knew about Santa:


Santa brings back much of the milk and cookies left out for him at Christmas and freezes it to get him through another year. (So please dont skimp on what you leave out for him he will eventually eat all of it.) Santa has to replace that sleigh after each use. Santa is the largest purchaser of electronic components and sugar in the world. Santa employs a small legal team, who once urged him to sue companies and Hollywood productions that use his image without permission. But Santa cannot show up in any court. Santa showed us what hes prepared to leave you for Christmas. You might want to take those pictures down from your Facebook page.
