north pole

 

I found the North Pole today while driving south in Hockley County.  It was there alongside the railroad track in a muddy cotton field.  Quite a town with the Elf House, Santa's Workshop, a church and assorted houses.  I suppose in the dark -- from a train -- it would appear magical, especially when the Polar Express stops for Santa.  However, the place was deserted.  I suppose Santa and the elves take the first of the year off and bask in the Bahamas.
