Default Norway Claims Santa Claus

Norway Claims Santa Claus


Santa Claus is not from Finland, the North Pole or any other cold place. He is from Norway.
In the beginning, Santa Claus was just an ordinary guy who accidentally began delivering gifts for Christmas, and thereafter got his nickname Santa Claus.
Here-after we will call him by his right name, Julenissen (the yule elf).

Julenissen has helpers who live all over Norway in their own farmhouses with their own toolsheds.
Julenissen himself lives in Dr鷷ak . Although he also has his own toolshed, he does not have much time to make gifts because he is busy in his post office, which has its own postmark.
Each year Julenissen receives thousands of letters from kids all over the world. These letters often contain a wish list. Julenissen is very busy answering them.

Transporting the gifts is a big job and makes the main thoroughfares in Dr鷷ak very congested at times.
Julenissen uses every means of transportation, from horse-drawn sleigh and sledge to trains and planes.
After all, this is 1995! Because of the traffic, highway authorities in Norway have posted road signs around Dr鷷ak saying "Watch out for Santa Claus."

Each November Julenissen invites all his helpers from all over Norway to a party, actually a pep rally of sorts.
This is to raise everyone's spirits for the coming month of hard work.
The main activity at the party is lifting bags and practicing techniques for Christmas Eve delivery.
There is a competition in which Julenissen and his helpers jump into hay and race on the sledge.

After Christmas, Julenissen is so exhausted that he can barely walk.
He sleeps for weeks to regain his strength for next year.

News of Norway has the honor to reveal one of life's biggest secrets: Julenissen is Norwegian.
Many of our readers have wondered about this best-kept secret of all time, but after intensive investigations, there is no doubt.
The facts have been confirmed and the truth can finally be reported.

Santa Claus, or Julenissen, as this figure is called in Norwegian, established formal residency in Dr鷷ak, about 20 miles south of Oslo on the Oslofjord, in 1989.
That's when municipal authorities decided that Julenissen was born there - until someone proves otherwise, which has not happened yet.

We had been led to believe for generations that Julenissen's workshop was some vague place near the North Pole.
Dr鷷ak hardly seems polar. The Treg緳den Julehus ("Wooden Christmas House") is where Julenissen has his main workshop.
The operation is owned by Eva and Willy Johansen. Eva designs santas sold both at the Treg緳den Julehus and at 350 other locations worldwide.

You might wonder why you have never heard of this operation before, although CNN and French fashion magazines have covered this story.
Just the other day, Eva told us on the phone that the Japanese Ambassador to Norway accompanied some of her people into the woods to cut the big Christmas tree that will be placed at Expo-Land in Osaka, Japan.

Another Norwegian Christmas tree is ready to be sent to Monaco as part of a big Norwegian marketing project hosted by Prince Albert of Monaco.
The last Christmas tree sent from Dr鷷ak went to Berlin.
For five years running, a Norwegian tree has stood in the place of honor before the Brandenburg Gate.

Japan's largest newspaper (circulation 14 million) has interviewed the Norwegian Julenissen. Judging from the thousands of cards received from Japanese children, Japan really was in the need of a santa.
Other international media are showing similar interest as interviewers have arrived from Finland, France, Great Britain, Germany and the Netherlands.

The principal julenisse, Kjell Morten Gustavsen, is certified by Dr鷷ak authorities and by Norway Post as well.
He runs the post office. But, he says "I do not want to win over other countries' Santas. All Santas should be friends."

Norwegians in the meantime are trying to teach the Japanese that Julenissen is different from his more flashy American counterpart, since the Norwegian julenisse still prefers using horse and sledge.
However, this does not mean that he is old fashioned, as he already has his
For those of you who wish to write the conventional address is Julenissen, P.O. Box 200, 1441 Dr鷷ak, Norway.
