How Does Santa Do It???

Hi All. There has been a question that has been in the back of my mind for many years. 68 years as a matter of fact. I have often wondered as to how Santa Claus can make it to all the children’s homes in one night.

Santa maintains a huge list of children who have been good throughout the year. The list even includes addresses and even ZIP codes and postal codes. The list, of course, gets bigger each year by virtue of the world's increasing population. Santa has had to adapt over the years to having less and less time to deliver his toys. If one were to assume he works in the realm of standard time as we know it, clearly he would have perhaps two to three ten-thousandths of a second to deliver his toys to each child's home he visits! Now I have no idea as to how large his list is, but it must be huge. I would even bet he has Petra’s name on it not to mention a few others such as Lowell, Canie, Randall, Jan, 2cents, Shan, Chris, EQF, Robert, Carol, Mary and if I have left any one out please feel free to add your names to the list.

At any rate the fact that Santa Claus is more the 15 centuries old and does not appear to be getting any older is our biggest clue that he does not work within a time frame as we know it. His Christmas Eve trip may seem to take around 24 hours to us, but to Santa it could be that it lasts days, weeks or months in standard time.
Now knowing Santa as well as I do he would not want to rush the very important job of bringing Christmas happiness to a child, so the only logical conclusion is that Santa somehow functions on a different time and space continuum, or maybe he has found a way to travel at warp speed. It’s a shame that there are some countries where he isn’t allowed, but somehow he still makes his stops.

Does it really matter though how he does it as long as he does it? Merry Christmas to all and may all your days be merry. Take Care…Don in creepy town
