Where Santa Goes to Learn His Ho, Ho, Ho
Get ready to adjust your holiday stories: Santa doesn’t go to the North Pole to perfect that booming laugh. He lands his reindeer in Midland, Mich.
Home to the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School, Midland attracts Santas and Mrs. Clauses from around the globe to prepare for the holiday season. Forty hours of training is packed into three days in October, but as Santa School Dean Tom Valent explains, there are plenty of Christmas cookies to keep the Santas fueled up.
