How Santa does it.

[All Seeing Eye]

You know the question of "How does Santa get around the world in one night and deliver all those presents"? Well you know that stupid answer you get that "he can slow time down" and all that rubbish well that's not the case at all.

I just found out that quite a hell of a lot of countries celebrate Christmas day on the 24th of December and not the 25th. So Santa doesn't do it all in one night, he has two nights in which to deliver all the presents.

Why is this simple answer completely ignored when answering that question?

I mean honestly .

All of us here know Santa is from the future and that his starship has been orbiting Earth (hiding behind the moon).

I think some countires might also celebrate, or exchange gifts in January, then there's the load of countires that don't celebrate at all. So, really, when you think about it, we've really been overestimating the size of the job over the years.

Becuase even TWO full days isn't enough time to deliver presents to all of the Children who celebrate Christmas on the planet?

Santa is also helped out by the Three Wise Men. They deliver presents in Mexico on January 6th (Dia de los Reyes Magos). It is more of a gift-getting time than Christmas there. I believe those three also deliver presents in other countries as well.

His sleigh goes at Warp 10. Thus he can be everywhere at once. Duh!

He has transporter technology. The whole sleigh and reindeer thing was abandoned few centuries ago when the number of people celebrating Christmas increased as well as children asking for more gifts when we became industrialized...

In Fables #56, he tells one of Snow and Bigby's children that he is in every house in the world at the same time. The kid, of course, doesn't quite get it.

Santa is the CARETAKER

Okay, that solves the problem of Santa getting around. There are other issues of course. Does Santa manufacture his own toys or buy them from the various toy manufacturers? If he manufactures his own, how does he get around the various patent laws and such? If he buys them, where does Santa get his money?

 

[blaXXer]

He is powered by souls, that I deliver to him. There you have it. Happy now?

 

[Trekker4747]

Santa's evils, in the form of rabid shoppers, have to buy the toys and gifts from retail outlets. No one is sure how Santa gets his money but he's the next one expected to ask for a bail-out from the US Economy.

Obviously he opens worm holes and then uses temporal rifts to travel back in time multiple instances until there are many Santas deliverying around the world at once. This is why Norad tracks him. Now that we are in a new era, such actions are considered international terrorism, but it's hard catching an time traveling ageless fat man who appears to be multiple bogeys.

 

[RoJoHen]

Outsourcing.

Well, there may be patent laws, but good luck enforcing them against Santa. He's not subject to any personal jurisdiction, and good luck trying to slap him with service of process; he's been eluding people since long before you were born.

Don't forget, he also skips all the poor children in the world!

 

[jkladis]

And then there's the cocaine.

I always figured he did it by drinking a shit load of Red Bull...

 

[Holdfast]

He ain't getting further than my house. The traps are laid...
