世博会芬兰馆有一个大红人，很多游客都跑去看他。他是谁呢？就是我们最熟悉的圣诞老人啦。就像最近有山东安徽两省三地争夺西门亲故里一样，名人的故乡也是很抢手的文化资产哦，北欧的很多国家都声称他们那里才是圣诞老人真正的居住地。都有哪些呢？
根据维基百科的介绍，圣诞老人原来还是很抢手的啊：
In North American tradition (in the United States and Canada), Santa lives on the North Pole, which according to Canada Post lies within Canadian jurisdiction.
在北美洲，人们认为圣诞老人居住在北极，加拿大邮政局将其划定在加拿大的属地之中。
On December 23 2008, Jason Kenney, Canada's minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, formally awarded Canadian citizenship status to Santa Claus. "The Government of Canada wishes Santa the very best in his Christmas Eve duties and wants to let him know that, as a Canadian citizen, he has the automatic right to re-enter Canada once his trip around the world is complete," Kenney said in an official statement.
2008年加拿大多元文化事务及移民部部长Jason Kenney向圣诞老人颁发了市民身份认证，在一份官方声明中他说：“加拿大政府祝愿圣诞老人一切安好。圣诞老人作为加拿大公民，在结束世界巡游后可以随时回到加拿大境内。”
There is also a city named North Pole in Alaska where a tourist attraction known as the "Santa Claus House" has been established. The US postal service uses the city's zip code of 99705 as their advertised postal code for Santa Claus.
阿拉斯加有一个城市名叫“北极”，那有一个旅游景点，“圣诞老人的小屋”。美国邮政局告诉那些想给圣诞老人写信的人说，他们可以使用北极市的邮政编码。
不过，1995年，联合国正式承认，圣诞老人的故乡是芬兰北部拉普兰省的省会罗瓦涅米市。这下没得争了，圣诞老人从此落户芬兰。在拉普兰有一个圣诞老人的邮局，每年世界各地写给圣诞老人的信件都会寄到那里：
Every item mailed at the Santa Claus’ Main Post Office is postmarked by hand with a special Arctic Circle postmark.
每封寄往圣诞邮局的信件都被手工加盖一个特殊的北极圈邮戳。
