Where is Santa From?

Although Santa Claus supposedly lives at the North Pole, many nations would love to claim him. Scandinavia and the World (SATW) is a webcomic that helps explain the dynamics of the different nations of Scandinavia, and often other European nations, to English speakers. A couple of years ago, it laid the question of Santa's ethnic origin to rest. Sort of.

Everybody knows Santa’s sledge is pulled by reindeer, lives somewhere cold and even the Finns say he lives in Lapland.

In other words, Santa is a Sami. Just look at this [link] and deal with it.

The Sami people are the “Indians” of the North and they belong in the same group as Native Americans and Aboriginals. They live in Lapland, an area that stretches from north Norway over Sweden and Finland to Russia.

Google glass remind me of the "Better than Life" game console in the "Red Dwarf" book series.

It is a game head band that sends electrodes into your brain and transports you to a paradise of your own creation..... every fantasy is fulfilled. The only problem is the game is highly addictive and hides the fact you are playing the game so you continue playing until you starve to death or wander out into traffic.
