Santa has gotta be quick~

Based on a 1999 estimated population count of North America and Europe, on Christmas Eve of that year Santa Claus had to visit 42,466,666 homes in a 12-hour period -- that's 983 homes per second. </pre>

Does that figure of 12 hours take into account the extra time he gets due to transition across time zones? If not, I suspect that is how he pulls it off...

Santa obviously uses wormholes. (Which are generated by that Ford V10 and a flux capacitor.)
