It’s common knowledge that Santa and his toy-making elves live in the North Pole, where they celebrate Christmas year-round, but they probably want a place to get away in the off-season. Signing a short-term or month-to-month lease would allow Santa and the elves to enjoy life down south while still being able to travel back to their permanent residence in the North Pole for the holiday season.
A jolly old man apartment hunting with his tiny elf friends and nine reindeer would make for a long wish list. What would Santa and his elves look for in a rental home?
Pet-Friendly
Pet-friendliness would be top of mind with nine reindeer on the lease! The elves would be looking for a rental with a dog park where the reindeer can run and play, and a dog washing station where they can wash off the reindeer after a hectic sleigh ride.
Garage
Santa and his elves would need a place to store the sleigh when they’re not driving it! A garage would be ideal to keep the sleigh protected from the elements and store the reindeer’s harnesses, and the driveway would act as a runway for takeoff.
Fireplace
A fireplace is only fitting for the man whose preferred method of entry is via chimney!
Santa and the elves would need a place to relax after a long day, and a fireplace would be the perfect place for them to unwind and sing Christmas carols together. A roaring fireplace would remind them of their natural habitat in the North Pole and bring wintery cheer to their spring and summer rental.
Doorman
When the elves run errands without Santa, they would need someone to open the human-sized doors for them! With their arms full of groceries, they couldn’t climb on each other’s shoulders to open the doors like they usually do. A friendly doorman would be a welcome addition to the elves’ renting experience.
Office
Office space would be necessary for Santa and the elves to stay on top of their Christmas schedule! Not only would the elves need somewhere to make toys, but Santa would also need a place to read letters from children all over the world and make his very long Naughty or Nice List—and check it twice, of course.
Storage Unit
The elves would need a place to store their finished toys until Christmas! Because they work year-round on toys for the children on the Nice List, they accumulate too many gifts to keep inside the home.
A storage unit would help the elves stay organized while they prepare for Christmas all year and hide the top-secret gifts from nosy neighbors!
Pool
Living in the North Pole isn’t exactly great for fun in the sun, so Santa and his elves would be excited to move into a rental property with a pool. Just like retirees who move to Florida after a lifetime up north, Santa and the elves would enjoy lounging by the pool with an eggnog daiquiri in hand. They would bring the party to the pool, with speakers playing summer hits like “Little Saint Nick” by The Beach Boys or “Mele Kalikimaka” by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters.
