The Earth has a magnetic field, because iron and metal that are located at the outer core. When people first invented the compass, they named the north end "North" and named the south end "South" based on the direction the needle on the compass is pointing to. Later, people discovered that the North pole set by the compass is actually the South pole. This is because of magnetic, the same poles always repel from each other, but opposite poles attract each other. The compass is made of magnets, the needle is also pulled toward the opposite end, so the North on the compass is actually the South in magnetic pole and South on the compass is the North in magnetic pole. Therefore Santa is from the South pole not the North pole.
