I wonder if Santa and his helpers are busy at the North Pole right now? Christmas is only 15 days away and I’m sure everything is in full gear at the North Pole. I bet all the reindeers are resting up for their long journey they will have to make on December 25th. I wonder how I could get to the North Pole, if I decided to make the trip up to Santa’s Workshop?

I know Karen in Frosty the Snowman was looking for a train to get Frosty to the North Pole and it was going to be pretty expensive. Can a train really travel all the way to the North Pole? I guess this would be doubtful with all the snow and ice that would be along the way to the North Pole.  I guess a small airplane or helicopter would be your best bet to make the trip up north.

Now during the summer months when the Earth tilts the North Pole toward the sun, it doesn’t really get dark at the North Pole. That is what I hear anyways. They say it looks like evening and never gets totally dark during the summer months at the North Pole. I guess during the winter time when Santa and his helpers are preparing for the Christmas trip, you would have a lot of night time hours up there. I guess it would be one of the darkest places on Earth during the winter time. Not only would it be dark, but you would have to brave some of the coldest temps on the planet too. So while we might think of the North Pole as a fun and festive atmosphere right now, it’s probably very dark and cold at the North Pole and wouldn’t be anywhere that we would want to be.
