When we came out, it was time to join the queue for Elf School, there appeared to be people pushing in, especially when the Elf came out and said they could only allow 100 people in. So some more people started to try and push in, but the Elf from Elf school and one of our Elves stopped them all and sent them to the back of the queue, so that was really efficient and those that tried to push in, didn't get to go in as there was way more than 100 in the queue. We did however and it was hilarious, the Elves were so much fun and we were made honoury elves.

Once you graduated from Elf school, you could purchase a diploma, this caused a bit of a queue though and so we missed the Elf Show. The diploma's were Euro15 each, so we just bought the boys one as a souvenir.

We had to be back at the coach at 11.30am ready to go onto Santa Village and guess who was late back for the coach? yes the large party that were always late!


Santa Village is only a short distance away, so didn't take long to get there. We were advised that we would need to be back at the coach at 1.30pm so that the people who had booked more of the safari's would have time to relax and get ready. We hadn't booked any as we had done our Reindeer Safari yesterday. Frosty did say, if anyone wanted to stay longer at Santa Claus Village, then you could get back by taxi to the hotel. We opted for this and said goodbye to Frosty. We wanted to spend more time here, rather than rush around.


There are lots of giant snowmen around and they are made with real now and ice, we thought when we had previously looked on the webcam that they were fake, we actually saw them being built by crane on the webcam back in November.

Entrance where you wait for the Taxi.
Santa Claus Village
Large Snowman and Larger Christmas Tree

It was now time to have some fun in the snow, first stop snow angels, this area was really quiet and we also had some snowball fights.


We then headed over to Santa's Post Office, this is where all the Santa letters get sent from all around the world and there were some up on display. There was an Elf sorting out a huge pile of them. The boys wrote postcards here for Nana & Grandad and Nanny. I wrote one for the boys, you then post them here and they receive the official Arctic Circle Stamp on. I posted them Christmas Day and ours arrived New Year's Eve.
