But in Copenhagen, Christmas comes twice a year, once in December, and again in July when the World Santa Claus Congress rolls into town. It’s at this mid-summer Christmas that the fi ner details of next year’s festivities will be hammered out by men in red suits with bushy white beards. The centuries-old Bakken amusement park hosts the threeday event, which attracts over 200 professional Santas, elves and elf mothers from as far afi eld as Japan and Venezuela. The congress is part talking shop, part team-bonding exercise and is generally a goodhumoured affair with time for games and idea swapping. But like any convention, it has a strict agenda. Last summer’s event included a heated debate on how false beards were spoiling Santa’s good name. To the casual visitor, it’s a chance to dance around the Christmas tree in CALENDAR TRAVEL NEWS TASTEBUDS OUT OF TOWN MADE FOR... blazing sunshine, but why exactly does this off-season celebration exist? The founders of the congress felt Christmas was too good to celebrate just once a year. And what better month to choose than July? – the Danish word for Christmas is Jul. worldsantaclaus congress.com David Atkinson DECEMBER 09 | TRAVELLER | 13
