Santa Claus Village and Reindeer-pulled sleigh ride.

 The fellow who built Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle is a marketing genius.

There is a short reindeer sled ride. We have a look mainly to take advantage of the campfire.
Anyone for Santa's Pizza or Santa's Burger. 
Santa's village straddles the Arctic Circle. There is a row of these towers showing the location of the line of the Arctic Circle.
Departing our lunch spot, CJ is "attacked" by two of the delivery robots of the local supermarket.
We have an evening reindeer sleigh ride. It is long and very cold.
At the halfway point, we pause to have a hot drink over a campfire inside a native teepee. We're riding, the reindeer are pulling, the guide is walking and leading the lead reindeer. He talks to us about the reindeer in the teepee.
The reindeer pulling us is well behaved and stays in front of us and behind the sled in front. Oscar, the reindeer pulling Mike and Ellen from Nebraska who are behind us, is constantly attempting to pass us. At times he is between our shoulders. Most of the time he's inches from CJ's head. At one point Carol sees him chewing on CJ's hat.
