This week we’re going to have a Christmas puzzle. Santa is at the North Pole and needs to visit all the good children. He needs to do it quickly though, so he can only visit each house once, and then return back to the North Pole immediately. Can you find a path from the north pole that visits each house exactly once, and then returns back to the North Pole at the end?
