Ep. 70 Santa Claus: The Preparation

Every Year on Dec. 25, Santa Claus takes to the skies to deliver presents to all the good little girls and boys in the world, but that one day takes 364 days of preparation to pull off.  A naughty/nice list must be compiled, millions of toys must be assembled, and the entire delivery route must be mapped out.  This level of coordination requires a large, dedicated staff.  How does Santa surveil the entire child population without being detected?  Where does he get all the raw materials necessary for so many toys, and exactly who are these “elves”?  These are just some of the questions we answer in this two-part episode.
