Santa Is Not in the North Pole

Contrary to popular belief, Santa does not live in the North Pole.  

He lives in New York City, because really, it is the most exciting place to be at Christmas.  Why would Santa want to hang out with a bunch of polar bears, when you can have this place as your home base:

Eliza will tell you that to get the new North Pole, you only need to take two subways:

And make sure everyone on the subway knows what you want from Santa, just in case they would like to get you a Wii:

Instead of navigating snowy footpaths to Santa's house, you just have to make your way through the evening commuters at the 34th Street station:

And that's where you find Santa's house:

First, it is important to check out how Santa has decorated his house at Macy's:

Make sure everyone in your family has their reindeer antlers on:

Be nice to Santa's elves and give them a thumbs up:

It is important to give your list some serious thought, in case there are last minute revisions:

Double check that you family elves are looking cheery for Santa:

Try to act sincere and deserving while Santa is reading your list:

Explain in detail what a Wii is to Santa:

Approach Santa with reverence:

Explain the whole Wii thing again just in case he didn't get it the first time:

And then act pleased as punch when he tells you that you have been good and this might result in a Wii being delivered to your apartment, via the fire escape, which frankly is far safer for Santa than squeezing down a chimney:

Be sure to explain to Super Pete what a Wii is so that he can help you play with it:

And last, but not least, eat a dirty water hot dog from a street vendor to bring your Mama the best Christmas present since you were born:

And that my friends is how we find Santa in New York City!
