The North Pole Series was started in 1990 with the introduction of three houses, Santas Workshop, Elf Bunkhouse, and Reindeer Barn. Santas North Pole is a place of whimsey and joy-where he, Mrs. Claus and the elves lives, play and prepare for Christmas each year. Inspired by this magic, the porcelain buildings and accessories bring Christmas dreams to life. Included here is the compact series called Elfland, which always inspires curiosity as to what the elves are up to.
