Everyone wonders as I do: how can this guy be one of US?
Frankly, although I do dress really lousy, at least I have the sense to maintain some conservative values so I don't look out of place at funerals or autopsy celebrations.
So, where is Santa actually FROM, and does he carry appropriate documentation with him in his travels?
No need to be unduly alarmed about this question, but as any loyal citizen of the country of which I have an excellent passport, I do think of these matters in the colder months.
Don't YOU?
You are very clever -- but it would be fair to ask, what is "foreign" if you're in Germany and I'm in Barcelona?
Many Americans believe the USA (the country between Mexico and Canada) is actually the Center of the World -- and anyplace else is "foreign," with odd people who don't speak American.
Anyhow: your answer is great, but I just had to get it off my chest that Americans tend to -- well, do you begin, in a foreign country, to speak German, Yiddish, Catalan or any other language? Of course not: but Americans tend to begin in American, as if there were no other language.
(Be patient with me; I love Coca Cola, not only because it's the most healthful liquid on earth but because it's the best thing there is for cleaning drains!
Thanks again for your response!

Santa Clause is from Atlanta, so in cardinal he is a foreigner for everyone outside the USA.
But as far as I know SC left the USA to life on the northpole. So is he still a "real" american? I don't know, but maybe you know: Are you still a "real" american? I think after all those years in Spain you maybe started thinking like a spain or like an european citizen. But this doesn't make you a foreigner to americans I think. How do your fellow countryman think about you; are you still an american for them or do they see you as a foreigner? And are you a spain for you friend in Barcelona?
In Germany it's like this: When you move from Hamburg to Bavaria you don't have a chance to become a bavarian in 100 years; for them you still are a "fishhead". I moved from Würzburg in West-Germany to Frankfurt (Oder) in East-Germany, I will always be a "Wessi".
But who cares as long Santa brings presents?
Greetings from foreigner to foreigner :))
