Tiny Carolers and North Pole Village

 

Gemma's search for Christmas places took a fun turn when she came across some tiny carolers from Raglan Shire, going from place to place to spread "Wootmas" cheer.  After all the Riverdancing was done, she headed to Christmas at North Pole Village & Santa's Workshop. There, she explored the picturesque town where the elves lived when not making toys, which even had it's own newspaper.

To The North Pole

Gemma Cleanslate's travels to Christmas-themed locations took her to a place just about every kid who's heard of Santa Claus dreams of going: the North Pole. Gemma looked around, seeing the reindeer stalls, Santa's workshop, Santa's office, Mrs. Claus' kitchen, and more. And of course there were Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves.

And there's also a hunt where one can find up to twelve gifts from Santa to take home.
