According to Thomas Nast, the Arctic was seen as a bit of a fantasy land during the mid-1800s, largely thanks to all of the expeditions held to the location (none of which would be completed until 1909). It was known as a place of constant snow — and snow had become associated with the holiday spirit and Christmas cheer. No one had seen the North Pole. No one knew what was happening there. It was mysterious and just out of reach. It made the perfect location for Santa’s home and his bustling workshop.
Sadly few do know or acknowledge the reason for the season. It’s the Celebration of when Our Lord and Savior was born into the human race to ultimately save us from our sins.

Creeping through the snow, M 16s in hand, thru the fields we go, a mighty killing band
Bayonets gleaming bright, on this Christmas night, Oh what fun it is to sing, a slaying song tonight!

I never knew Santa’s Workshop was at Castle Black defending against the Whitewalkers
