After a shock to the system at just how cold we were, averaging about -25 for most days in our ski town, we were up and running every day! Swimming in the Arctic Ocean, riding husky and reindeer sleds, snow-mobile-ing to the top of the mountain, ice-karting and attempting cross-country skiing. While I had fun doing many of the activities, some were definitely never-again type things. I have never been so cold in my life before, I honestly felt like my fingers were about to drop off! Considering the amount of clothing that we were wearing, and add to that the jumpsuits we were given for some of the more 'sporty' activities, it was quite amazing.

Being Christmas time, and Santa Claus' home being in the North Pole, we couldn't pass on a visit to Santa's Village. Giant snowmen, Christmas trees and a bustling post office, every little kid- or someone who just loves Christmas' dream! I may have missed out on my annual pilgrimage to check out the lights around Sydney, but I got to see Santa's workshop (but wasn't paying to visit him!) instead! We even got a surprise visit from Santa on Christmas Eve at our lodge... presents were distributed for all!
Having always had a BBQ or a day at the beach for Christmas, it was kind of fun to get into the spirit of a real white Christmas!
