When we lived in Owensboro, KY, Mom and Dad packed up their four kids, ages 2, 3, 5, and 7, into the family station wagon and took us on a 36 mile trip to Santa Claus, IN to visit Santa. I remember lots of people standing in line to talk to talk to the big guy, clamming up when Santa asked me what I wanted for Christmas (I'm the oldest and believed in Santa for a long time), and just being in awe of a place that was named after Santa Claus.
So my mind wandered to/wondered about other towns with a Christmas connection. Here's what I found:
North Pole, New York
North Pole, Alaska
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Bethlehem, North Carolina
Santa Claus, Indiana
Santa Claus, Georgia
Santa Claus, Arizona
Santa, Idaho
Donner Lake, California
Christmas Cove, Maine
Christmas Valley, Oregon
Christmas, Florida
Christmas, Michigan
Nazareth, Pennsylvania
Rudolph, Wisconsin
Snowflake, Arizona
Mistletoe, Kentucky
Noel, Missouri
Garland, Texas
It would be fun to send Christmas cards from one of these towns to get the cancellation stamp on the envelope. A little more spirit of Christmas!
