    Santa is a timelord. His sleigh is a TARDIS.

    I think Santa Claus is a woman….I hate to be the one to defy a sacred myth, but I believe he’s a she. Think about it. Christmas is a big, organized, warm, fuzzy, nurturing social deal, and I have a tough time believing a guy could possibly pull it all off!

    For starters, the vast majority of men don’t even think about selecting gifts until Christmas Eve. Once at the mall, they always seem surprised to find only Ronco products, socket wrench sets, and mood rings left on the shelves. On this count alone, I’m convinced Santa is a woman.

    Surely, if he were a man, everyone in the universe would wake up Christmas morning to find a rotating musical Chia Pet under the tree, still in the bag.

    Another problem for a he-Santa would be getting there. First of all, there would be no reindeer because they would all be dead, gutted and strapped to the rear bumper of the sleigh amid wide-eyed, desperate claims that buck season had been extended. Blitzen’s rack would already be on the way to the taxidermist.

    Even if the male Santa DID have reindeer, he’d still have transportation problems because he would inevitably get lost up there in the snow and clouds and then refuse to stop and ask for directions.

    Other reasons why Santa can’t possibly be a man:

    Men can’t pack a bag.Men would rather be dead than caught wearing red velvet.Men would feel their masculinity is threatened…having to be seen with all those elves.Men don’t answer their mail.Men would refuse to allow their physique to be described even in jest as anything remotely resembling a “bowlful of jelly.”Men aren’t interested in stockings unless somebody’s wearing them.Having to do the Ho Ho Ho thing would seriously inhibit their ability to pick up women.Finally, being responsible for Christmas would require a commitment.

    I can buy the fact that other mythical holiday characters are men………

    Father Time shows up once a year unshaven and looking ominous — definite guy.Cupid flies around carrying weapons.Uncle Sam is a politician who likes to point fingers.

    Any one of these individuals could pass the testosterone screening test. But not St. Nick. Not a chance.

    Did Quill give the parcel to Santa on his sleigh of six white boomers? (I’m not Aussie, but I learned of the “Six White Boomers” Aussie Xmas song at a Xmas party last year or the year before; there was an Aussie in my LDS ward.)

    …Well, Luann does have reason to think it’s for her…her boyfriend, and all. But it might be some kind of board game, where it is indeed for a family, because Luann couldn’t, no matter how much she wants, use it alone.

    But, on the serious side, my guess is he sent them the finished recordings of the music he and Luann did together.

    By this point, Santa Teleports. Chimneys be damned, he just teleports in front of the fireplace because all the children expect him to. (As if he came down the chimney)

    Also, ‘Santa Claus’ is technically a shortened form of St. Nicholas. Or St. Nick, if you like.

    @Leviticus, oldcomicsfan, and especially Brdshtt:

    All 3-of-you have forgotten, today is Dec. 24 in America, however it is Dec. 25 on the other side of the world. So your math is off by 24 hrs. Santa has 2 NIGHTS to deliver those presents NOT 1 night. So you all need to recalculate all your numbers, no your mark, get set, GO!

    never liked manga … feel it’s ruining cartooning as a style.^^Strangely, at first, I wasn’t that fond of it either, but, the story telling is far superior than American comics with their silly overtly muscled idiots fighting crime in their underwear; eventually, I guess I got used to the art style, but, I STILL hate the girl’s favorite, the “Bishonen” (pretty boys)

    And believe it or not, this is one of the more MASCULINE looking Bishos! VVV

    Very good calculations, but may I be so rude as to point out a slight error? If we assume that midnight starts at the International date line, it will take 24 hours for it to travel around the worls and back to the international date line. Now if we also assume that darkness (for Santa’s purposes) starts 3 hours before midnight and ends 5 hours after midnight, that would add 8 hours for a total of 32 hours for Santa to make his trip.
