The South magnetic pole does not align with Earth's geographic pole where Santa Claus is. If you were south of that pole, your compass would basically point north. And if you were anywhere to the side, it would bend it inward. So therefore, Earth's South magnetic pole is in the North.
Is your compass actually wrong? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore magnetic fields, why clocks go clockwise, and how phone numbers got their area codes.
