With Christmas now a month away, in which country does Santa Claus 'actually' live? The modern version of Santa evolved in the 19th century, incorporating elements from different mythologies. At this time it was thought that he lived in or around the North Pole. Ever since, northern countries have all argued over who gets to truly lay claim to Santa. All countries with territory bordering the Arctic Ocean (US, Russia, Canada, Norway, and Denmark) have at some point claimed Santa as their own, as well as a few others (Finland, Belarus, Slovenia, etc.). Perhaps Denmark, which contains the northernmost point of land on earth, should be the winner. However, Canada certainly upped the ante when they granted Santa Canadian Citizenship in 2008.
Bonus:
Romain Gavras' new music video for the Jamie XX song 'Gosh' is quite visually stunning. Filmed in the bizarre planned Paris-imitation city of Tianducheng it deals with, as the author explains, themes of cultural appropriation.
