Our Bloke – Santa Claus

December 25, 2022 by Roxane Manley

Our exclusive interview with Santa Claus just for the Children of Parkes and Forbes.

What is your name? Santa Claus – I have a few names however, I can also be called St Nick, Father Christmas or Kris Kringle.

Where do you live? I live at the North Pole in a beautiful village with all my elves and my wife, Mrs Claus.

What do you do for fun? Well, checking the naughty and nice list of course! But I also enjoy sleigh rides with Mrs Claus and playing hide and seek with all the elves.

What about the Children of Parkes and Forbes, how are they fairing on the list this year? Well, I know that the children of Parkes and Forbes are a very special bunch. They have all been pretty good all year, sometimes they can be a little cheeky but I feel that all the children will be on the nice list this year.

What time will you be coming over Parkes and Forbes? It’s always tricky to get it exactly right but if all the children are tucked up in their beds nice and early we should be heading over just after midnight.

What is your favourite food? Well, I like anything sweet! Mrs Claus is always baking delicious treats for me, but I love visiting Australian children the most as they always know exactly what I like.

Since you are very busy, what do you do to relax? I like to sit by the fire and sip hot cocoa.

Where do you go on holidays? Mrs Claus and I plan on visiting lots of wonderful places we see on our Christmas Eve present drop. Starting with somewhere warm of course!

Thank you Santa! We wish you a very very Merry Christmas.
