The impossible job of SANTA CLAUS

December 25th, 2023

First of all, Merry Christmas!
If you are a Christian and celebrate Christmas, you probably tell your children about Santa Claus.

But how does Santa Claus actually manage his job in one day?

Absolutely impossible.

Let’s look at the facts.

Around 744 million children worldwide live in Christian families where Santa Claus comes to visit. On average, there are 2.3 children in each household, meaning Santa Claus would have to visit around 300 million households on Christmas Eve.
I’m being kind and imagining that these households are evenly distributed across the world.

Santa Claus has to cope with the times. Because he would still have to travel around 210 million kilometers at 5,500 times the speed of sound even if he were smart enough to use the world’s time zones and turn his 8-hour workday into a 31-hour day.

The poor reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh are the worst off anyway. It would catch fire if Santa tried to pull his 744,000-ton sleigh at the speed he needs to deliver all the presents on time.

It’s a good thing Santa Claus doesn’t care about physics.

I wish you peaceful days.
