Merry Christmas

Nice try, y'all, but Santa's from Finland.
Sweden and Norway don't even get cold enough for Him.

I know this is late, but the Minister of Immigration for Canada has legally said that Santa Claus is a Canadian citizen. So he lives everywhere but is Canadian! Sorry.

I'm from England and, when I was a child, I was told that Santa lives in Lapland. So I'm with Finland on this one.

For the record, America is right on this one. Santa IS Canadian! (I believe the workshop is somewhere in the Northwest Territories) After all he even have a postal code here. I kid you not it's H0H 0H0 and they do a campaign every year where kids send letters to this address and he writes back to them. It's a cute tradition.

@DarkFlare
Eventhough he has a Canadian Postal Code he still lives on the North Pole according to Canada Post as you do address it to the North Pole.

Swede here who FIRMLY belives Santa lives in Finland, there is no other way

In Poland we believe Santa Claus lives in Finland And funny enough we also celebrate St Nicholas' Day (when we also get presents) on 6th December, which is a national holiday in Finland. When I found that they had a holiday on that that my first thought was: "Oh, you celebrate your Santa really seriously"

Ever since I was a kid I liked the idea of there being more than one Santa, and I imagined them distributing the work between them and visiting each other in the summer. So no matter where a country believe Santa to live, I think they’re right.

You know, I've had in my head (and some notes) an idea for a town-builder style game I would have called "Santa's Village" if the name weren't taken a few times over already. Santa arrives by himself at a prime location in the wilderness to build his village and toy factory. Elves join his village as the workforce and population. Resource gathering and management. Lots of Santa lore and myth sprinkled in for flavour to set it apart from a generic town-builder game.

(Here's where I get on topic with Humon's post-script):
One of my ideas to expand the game and improve replayability was multiple Santa Clauses AND regional locations, that you'd select at the start. Santas having different features and bonuses based on their regional myths about him (Ex: there'd be the USA version Santa in the Coca Cola coloured suit, whose special trait was he got regular money from endorsement contracts at the start of each season). Different locations had different regional features that added challenges and advantages. One would be in a tropical region with a rainy season, and instead of shovelling snow off the roads in winter, elves would have to brush mud off them in spring.

We could sell the game on Steam every winter, but only Nov-Jan of each year; off season it would be unavailable, encouraging players to return to the game at Christmastime every year to make it part of their seasonal tradition, and not get too bored with it.

I had lot of ideas to flesh out the concept, but aside from the planning and outlines of it, and the writing/storytelling parts, I myself have no skills related to actually making computer games, so the notes will live on my PC forever. :P

to me he lives in the sámi region

holy this is old

lives in his house....
