It is just outside Fairbanks, Alaska. We do have a Santa Claus house and there are reindeer herds along with red and white striped poles and streetlights. Most people here prefer dogsleds and snowmachines over cars in the winter. It is fun to live here, especially in the winter.

But there isn't just one Christmas village as it seems to be quite an industry there. Just put in the words Christmas and Lapland into your search engine and you'll find quite a few websites. Choose carefully, though. There has been a report on BBC News today about a Lapland-style Santa village in Dorset/England which has left a lot of visitors disappointed. --- Sabine Reply    Reply with quote    Contact bineba   vik___ Joined: Mar 04 Points: 119 Posts: 6 Posted: 2008-12-05 21:51:00    They must have been talking about Rovaniemi.
