Santa Claus is a world renowned toy maker and expert reindeer herder. He lives in Lapland and although his exact address is unknown, it is widely rumoured that any letters posted up chimneys will reach him eventually.

He has been married to Mrs Claus for more years than he can remember and they share a home with numerous elves and reindeer. Santa counts among his hobbies monitoring the ‘naughty or nice’ list and criticising Hollywood versions of his life as they never get it quite right! His favourite foods include mince pies, selection boxes and eggnog. He is well aware that this is not a healthy diet and promises to do better next year. His favourite colour is red.
