We have all written our letters to Santa. With red crayons and broken up words our letters pleaded for the newest Beanie Baby or the fastest Hot Wheels car. After the letter was stamped and addressed, we put our faith in the Postman to securely carry our letter to Santa’s doorstep.
But just where is Santa’s doorstep? Mr. Clause himself resides between the Ohio River and Interstate 64 in a little town called Santa Clause, Indiana. Established in 1856, Santa Clause, Indiana has used the business of Christmas to their advantage. The town has the world’s only post office to bear the name of Santa Claus. Because of this popular name, the post office receives thousands of letters to Santa from all over the world each year. These letters are not only the town’s claim to fame, but they bring in more revenues to Santa Claus’ Main Post Office during December than all previous months combined!
Santa Clause, Indiana survives on the business of Christmas. Check out the links below for more information on the history of Santa Clause town and how it utilizes the attraction of the Christmas season as a business.
As college students, the time approaches faster and faster that we must decide where to live if a job is not already directing us there. In state, out of state, big city, small town, the sunshine state or the windy city, wherever we decide, it must fit our individual criteria to hopefully base a career and personal life upon. Thankfully, FSB has narrowed down our choices a little. FSB scoured the country for towns that combine a great business environment with alluring leisure offerings. Economic conditions such as local tax rates alongside natural beauty – and easy access to museums, hungry gamefish, and more were taken into consideration. The following link provides a list of the top 100!
