Because it takes so much time and energy to make sure every child around the world is happy on Christmas morning, Santa and Mrs. Claus never had time to have children of their own. Every year, Santa has to work on making the naughty and nice list and help the elves make sure every toy gets made to perfection. Mrs. Claus is the one who takes care of all of the elves and reindeer at the North Pole. She also works with Santa to repair his sleigh and patch his magical red suit.

They are so busy, that Santa and Mrs. Claus only take a few days off in January every year to visit someplace warm and sunny so they can celebrate another successful Christmas.
