Re: Santa
Maybe after voting Trump in Santa has put you on the naughty list so not as many places he will be visiting. He also maybe shit scared to visit due to the 300 plus mass shootings the country has had. Maybe Mericans just don't do the Santa thing as much as the Brits.
Perhaps Santa has been put on a list banning him from travelling to the US or his Temporary Protected Status is being revoked or he's part of DACA which may or may not be also cancelled.
Maybe Trump feels he is bad for the economy by bringing in cheap Chines made goods and Santa should be taking American goods and making America Great Again. I hope his elves are American.
He might think Santa lives in NAFTA land and he wants to rip that deal up.
Anyway you have a beautiful Christmas because this is going to be the biggest most beautiful Christmas ever.

Re: Santa
Thanks guys, l appreciate your help. l had seen some of these and might well take the wider family to some of those towns when they come for xmas but l am not finding anything on the scale of Lapland UK which is a really magical day. I had hoped to do the real thing but that isn't happening due to the move and was hoping to find something similar or even better as there seems so much potential here as we actually get snow.
The year we lived in the northern suburbs of NYC there was almost no snow at all that winter - there was one snow storm one Saturday, and it left about 3" of snow, which had mostly melted by Sunday afternoon. We drove up into northern NY, and across into Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts another time, and other than on some ski slopes, we didn't see a flake of snow.

If you're expecting snow with any degree of certainty at or even near Christmas you may be sadly disappointed. Some years it snows a good bit, perhaps in as many as three or four storms, other years there is next to nothing.

At least my expectations are now perhaps a little more realistic!!
