If Santa thinks the map in the children's book "I Saw Santa in New Jersey" actually resembles the Garden State, he needs to ho ho ho his way back to geography class.

Montclair next to Camden? Atlantic City along the Delaware River? Not even close. On a good day, it would take someone about an hour and 40 minutes to get from Montclair to Camden. And Atlantic City is a good 80 miles from the Delaware River.

The mix-up in the book by JD Green is just the latest pop culture error regarding New Jersey geography. "This is Us" recently implied that it took only 20 minutes to get from Alpine to Philadelphia.

One of the characters in the show was on a job interview in Alpine and casually popped down to Philadelphia to attend her husband's campaign event. We all know it's not possible, especially with New Jersey's traffic and the distance of over 100 miles.

Note to people writing about New Jersey — might be time to ask for a map for the holidays.

ENTERTAINMENT:No, 'This is Us' — Bergen's Alpine isn't close to Philadelphia at all
