Description
On the cover is a festive white Christmas tree decorated with ribbons, pine cones, poinsettias and berries.
Open to a jolly 3D Santa in a sleigh, a pile of gifts, a red-nose reindeer and a sparkling Christmas tree decorated with garlands and flowers.
Tucked inside the Christmas card is a removable little green note card. On the front is a cute drawing of a reindeer and the words New Year. The inside is blank, and you can write a sweet little message, and tuck the note back into the slot on the Merry Christmas scene. You could also tuck in a photo, cash or small gift. This is a modern take on an old-fashioned Christmas card.
Santa’s Lapland:
Santa and his team are taking a well-earned rest at home in Lapland. Santa asked to say a few words about his reindeer. The following is all taken from SantasLapland.com website:
“Reindeer are very important to Mrs Claus and me. Along with my Elves they help me deliver millions of presents all around the world. But how much do you really know about them? I’ve put together some information so you can learn a little more about my trusty steeds.
5 Fun Christmas Reindeer Facts
Reindeer are very important to Mrs Claus and Santa and along with my Elves they help me deliver millions of presents all around the world, but how much do you really know about them?
What are the names of my most famous reindeers?
Many many years ago I only had eight Reindeer; Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen, until Rudolph was born with his very special nose. You can find out more about him below.
Now all nine Reindeer, with Rudolph leading the way, help me to deliver presents to millions of children worldwide on Christmas Eve!
When they’re back in Lapland they have lots of other Reindeer friends to play with too, so don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled no matter where you are in Lapland, as you might spot some more of my furry friends.
Rudolph’s Very Special Nose
Rudolph is a very special Reindeer as he has a red shiny nose. At first the other Reindeer used to tease him because of his nose, however on one particularly foggy Christmas Eve, they kept getting lost as they couldn’t see their way.
I spotted Rudolph’s bright nose and asked him to lead the other Reindeer so they could follow his nose and light the way to help deliver all the Christmas presents. After this, the other Reindeer were happy and they are now best of friends with Rudolph.
You can have a magical sleigh ride through the Lapland forest when you come to visit me. Keep an eye out for all my Reindeer.
How do my Reindeer prepare for their special journey on Christmas Eve?
My famous Reindeer are the best of the best and it takes lots of years of practice and hard work to train them for their special journey on Christmas Eve.
Before Christmas Eve, Mrs Claus prepares a big feast for everyone to enjoy, as we can’t fly around the world on an empty stomach.
Pulling a sleigh, filled with toys is no small feat. So despite all the training they go through, they need a little bit of extra magic to make sure we have a successful trip!
The Reindeer are very much part of the family!
My Elves and I take a LOT of pride in all of our Reindeer, they are an important part of my family.
It takes a team to make sure everything goes according to plan not just on Christmas Eve, but all year round. The Reindeer are a very valuable part of that team, so they are cherished and loved by us. Without them, how else would we get around?
What do my Reindeer get up to the rest of the year?
Once we’ve delivered all of the presents we all need a well-earned rest, so it’s back to the Reindeer Centre to relax and enjoy some delicious treats.
They are then free to play with the other Reindeer in Lapland, of which there are plenty. They also help my Elves get everything ready for next year’s Christmas, including practicing sleigh rides, which you can enjoy when you come to Lapland.
Did you know that my Reindeer can live in the cold without needing to be kept warm inside? That’s because their noses actually warm the air before they breathe it in, amazing!
