Claus call: At the 40th annual Father Christmas World Congress held in Copenhagen over the weekend, it was finally determined where Santa Claus comes from. No, it's not the North Pole -- it's Greenland. Some are already disputing that edict. According to Reuters, "Finnish Lapland, traditional rival of Greenland for the title, was not represented at the congress." As well, "the Santa summit also ignored historical evidence rooting their traditions in Turkey, where fourth-century Christian Saint Nicholas of Myra helped the poor and needy." So, Where's Hanukah Harry from?
