Chimney

Have you noticed how nobody ever looks up? Nobody looks at chimneys, or trees against the sky, or the tops of buildings. Everybody just looks down at the pavement or their shoes. The whole world could pass them by, and most people wouldn't notice.

~ Julie Andrews

There are a lot of places where old chimneys are left standing. I assume the houses they were a part of have fallen down or burned down or been taken down. If the people who own the land where these chimneys are are smart, they're hanging extra stockings on those chimneys during the holiday season. 

I think of Santa as the kind of person who -- even if a place isn't on the map -- Santa is going to stop there and leave something in case there is a problem with the map. He doesn't want to accidentally skip someone. That's just what I think.
