We asked From the ground up Mrs. Binotto-Peel's Grade 1C class at Maitland River Elementary School had some thoughts on what exactly Santa Claus' home looks like. Those thoughts expanded to his workshop and the North Pole itself. Back row, from left: Substitute teacher Miss Dodds, Steven, Blake, Nikolai, Jay, Alayna, Wesley, Damien, Skylar and Nash. Front row, from left: Nia, Alaida, Farrah, Josephine, Dylan, Isla, Zara, Sadie and Ryan. (Denny Scott photo) When Mrs. Binotto-Peel's Grade 1C class cast their mind to the North Pole to describe Santa's village, home and workshop, a lot of them thought of a traditional, wooden house, some thought of elves and all of them thought of something that would make the jolly old elf right at home. "Santa's workshop looks pretty full with all the toys that are in it. We have an Elf named Elfie in the classroom and Elfie told us about Santa's magic on the first day of school and his magic showed us the workshop. It has hammers." Nia "The North Pole, that's where Santa lives, looks like a bunch of elves working at their work stations. They are making toys at work benches. Santa lives in the workshop. He and Mrs. Claus have a room to sleep in there." Farrah "I think there are a lot of toys at Santa's house. There is a present maker there too. The elves put the toys in the present makers and it wraps the presents for them and the gifts come out the other side. The elves make toys in Santa's house and it's brown." Wesley "There are a lot of elves at Santa's house, and frost on the windows too. It's hard to say what it looks like because it's always snowing at the North Pole. There are lots of toys there." Isla "Santa has a lot of toys inside his house and outside he has just a normal house but with lots of Christmas decorations. There are snowmen, elves, cookies and candy canes." Skylar "There would be a lot of papers at Santa's house so you couldn't really see what it looks like. Santa has the list, which uses up a lot of paper because it has everyone in the world on it and he gets a lot of letters, so there are papers all over. He has a special second house just to keep all the old papers." Jay "There are a lot of toys at Santa's house and the workshop. It looks like a normal shop, but red, and there are Christmas ornaments all over his house. He takes ornaments and puts them around the house." Steven "Santa Claus' house just looks like a normal house. It has plastic parts and brick parts and wood and it has some Christmas lights. There are 20 lights on his house that are rainbow colours." Alayna "Santa's house is a nice house, but it's an igloo because that's what they have in the North Pole. They have a special kind of decoration up there that isn't like normal lights because they can't get hot or else they would melt the igloos. His workshop is an igloo too." Nik "Santa's house looks like a big - sized house, but it is pretty small because Santa is small. He's fat but he's small. The door has a special roof overtop of it so no snow or rain comes in when Santa goes out with all the toys. They don't have decorations because Santa sees all the decorations when he flies around the world." Zara "I think Santa's house looks like a big load of presents because he can hide it that way. The workshop looks like a shed full of presents and his house is just one big pile of presents so people can't find it. People might find it if they tried to steal the presents but Christmas is a time when you shouldn't steal from others. It's a time about being happy." Damien "I've been there and Santa's house looks like our house. It's really big. It has three rooms for Santa to work in and one for the elves. It's a fat house like Santa because he's fat." Sadie "Santa's house is red and green and it's 10 feet long, which is really long. It has to be big to fit him and his elves and all his stuff in there. Santa is small, so it's really long for him." Nash "There are two big sides for Santa's house, one big floor and one big roof and it's brown because it's made of wood. He might have decorations, ribbons, tree balls and stuff outside his house."

It has big Christmas ornaments on the house and there is a big workshop outside." Blake "There isn't a house at the North Pole. Santa and Mrs. Claus live in a thing that looks like a cottage. It's made of wood and it's brown and there are Christmas decorations." Josie "The North Pole is where Santa's house is, but he doesn't have a house. He has a shed and a garage. The shed is for him and the reindeer and the garage is for the elves." Ryan "Santa's house looks like my house except it's always clean. The elves help him clean it with their magic, so it looks like a normal house but with no dirt or toys on the floor like my house." Alaida Customers Like You Lift Our Spirits All Year Long!
