- made up fables and fictitious lore
- Well........Santa lives there and its where they make all the toys. If you meant,. like, why they chose to associate Santa with the North Pole, then....oh. I couldn't tell ya.
- he wears a heavy suit therefore he might have come from a cold place. since not a lot of people really know what is in the NP i guess it's the most suitable place for him to "be"
- the catholic church had to come up with some remote place your average christian would never visit or even know existed.

- Its where he lives, in his red and white suit with black boots and don't forget the elves.
- From the Scandinavian legend of Sinter Claus (or Klaas) who was believed to live in the far northern regions of Finland, in Lapland. Hence the reindeer pulling a sleigh, the original type of clothing worn (the Santa Claus as Americans know him was designed as a Coca-Cola ad), etc.
- He is worshipped like God But he was actually condemed in the bible. It was a false religion that was inspiried by Satan himself. (Revelation 2:6) 6 Still, you do have this, that you hate the deeds of the sect of Nic·o·la´us, which I also hate. (Isaiah 14:12-14) 12 “O how you have fallen from heaven, you shining one, son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the earth, you who were disabling the nations! 13 As for you, you have said in your heart, ‘To the heavens I shall go up. Above the stars of God I shall lift up my throne, and I shall sit down upon the mountain of meeting, in the remotest parts of the north. 14 I shall go up above the high places of the clouds; I shall make myself resemble the Most High.’ God is always spoken as living in the remotest parts of the north. that is where superman went to find his heritage. All super hero's of folk lore were always from the north.
- Well he has reindeer. Reindeer north pole they come from there if u look on a map with facts on it.
- Because satan likes to head north because he's still tryna kill god. Satan is an anagram for Santa.
