That's why it's considered magic. Science can't figure out how Santa does it.

If he had any business savy, he would franchise his operation out.

He could off-shore it to the Chinese and lay off all his elves, but then how would all his elves would end up on candy stamps and how would Santa pay for all of that?

I heard he was a non-profit so he is likely using a volunteer force.

“I heard he was a non-profit so he is likely using a volunteer force.”

Non-profits often funnel their ‘profits’ into big salaries for their executives.

One of my first rational and reasoned conclusions was when I was five years old our family went into the city and I concluded there’s no way in hell Santa was hitting all those houses in one night.

Might be why his belly shakes when he laughs and he’s always got that grin ...

Do the elves pass their "voluntary" status to their children and their children's children? Even those who want to be dentists are condemned to a life of toymaking and singing jolly songs.

According to the laws of quantum mechanics it is possible that something can be in all places at the same time. Perhaps Santa has somehow tapped into this strange and mysterious realm.

Several Christmas’ ago. My little cousin put me on the spot as to how my Knights of Columbus Council got Santa Claus at our Pancake Breakfast. Thinking quick I told her that Supreme grand Knight Carl Anderson meets with the Pope on a regular basis.

I'm thinking that Santa does not really fly around the world. I'm thinking the “sleigh” is actually a time and teleportation device.
