Request Monday (12/24/2012): Santa Claus is coming to town...

"How does Santa get all the energy to travel around the world?"
-Maggie from Chicago-

I think you should watch the movie Elf. Buddy the Elf learns from his Papa Elf that Santa's sleigh is guided by the reindeer powered by Christmas magic. The reindeer need to eat, too, but that's about it.

Be good to your mom and dad tonight, and have a Merry Christmas!

Mom and dad, are you still there?

I highly recommend you pick up The Autobiography of Santa Claus to learn about how St. Nicholas became and stays Santa Claus. It's important to know that Santa adapts as population grows and technologies change. We can gather that possibly thanks to Albert Einstein, Santa might have learned to use wormholes to help speed up his travel. This makes it more efficient for Santa, although tougher for NORAD to track him.

In any case, I cannot think of anything more valuable to improving the quality of human life than Santa. Almost eighteen hundred years and still going strong...finding more efficient ways to bring hope to hundreds of millions of people once a year.

Merry Christmas to you all!
