He manages to deliver hundreds of millions of presents to everyone’s homes all across the world in one evening. Well, in 24 hours really, if you work your way across the world, racing the sun and the international dateline. Still, that’s a lot of ground to cover in that time period.
Is he a good guy or a bad guy? After all, Santa is an anagram of Satan. Seems a bit of a negative stretch as well as an unfortunate anagram coincidence.
Happily, most consider the more positive side, with him being a beneficial entity, albeit infinitely powerful. This would tend to make more sense, as let’s face it, Santa has been doing wonderful things in this fashion for centuries, so I *think* we’re safe in assuming he’s good guy.
But the point of this discussion is how does he do it? How does he make the deliveries all over the globe in one night?
Time portals? Magic?
Possibly, abilities and technologies so far advanced from what we know that we would perceive them as magic with our little monkey brains.
My guess, and I’ve given this some thought, is that there possibly are a couple things at play.
First, is that Santa, whether by birth or by technological advancement, is an entity who is capable of super speed, allowing him to be 1,000 times more productive than a regular person.
Second, he somehow has the ability to also locally slow down time to a crawl. Time slowing down by a thousand fold combined with him speeding up a thousand fold, makes the job getting accomplished in the time allowed seem more reasonable.
Third, I’m thinking some type of transporter tech rings true, along with varied holograms, projecting his image into certain houses just for fun. Presents appear under the tree, while there’s a hint of a Santa image nearby, perhaps by the tree or the fireplace. If he can program the system for whole neighborhoods simultaneously, as he hovers in orbit aboard the galactic sleigh, it would certainly streamline the process.
Of course, there this another option. An amazing option.
That Santa, as an entity, doesn’t even have to inhabit a physical body. Perhaps he learned many centuries ago, that to be that much more effective, he’d transform himself into the true spirit of Christmas. A spirit that would spread across the world and come to rest in each of us. To lighten our hearts and spread cheer.
Oh, there’s still the master list out there of what everyone wants. But with Santa residing deep within each of us, what better way to communicate directly to families on what to get each other?
Perhaps that Santa spirit is what powers the whole experience! Seems almost crazy simple. But nice.
So there you go. A few options. Of course I can’t know 100% if I’m right or not.
But Santa knows.
He always knows.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all.
