  1. there’s something horribly wrong with this theory. santa comes to australia in december but australia would have their summer in our winter… does that mean santa comes to australia in their summer? to be fair, australians do have their summer break as “christmas break.”

  2. Here’s a little extra for you Matpat. Since St Nick was born in AD 280, if we assume he has been doing this since then, he then would have consumed 800,220,150,527,616 calories in all his years combined. Thanks for all the great work MatPat, here’s a little cherry on top for you

  3. what if he just like- hides it in his suit? or magically sends it back home to feed his imprisoned elfs that screamed for food and anything to drink for the last months as they needed to handmake all those dang toys and other gifts for people, dying and prob killing themselves as they don't even get coffee-
    I am dead inside.

  4. Hold on Matpat, Considering Santa will need to hit about 15,000 homes per second to hit an approximation of Santa-believing households* and he can not surpass the speed of light to achieve this. If it takes 2e11 joules of energy to speed up a particle of matter to 99.8% the speed of light and the weight of (Santa+Sleigh+{Reindeer^12-13}+toys) and assuming the snow build-up is not applicable due to the velocity Santa is moving at then Saint Nick will need and energy output of 76,381kg*2e11 joules.

    Low estimates require an energy output of approximately 7,638,100,000,000,000 joules to get up to speed, about 1,824,328,868,790,000 calories, Meaning that Santa is working at 397% caloric deficient. Meeting this energy requirement would mean everyone who believes in Santa will need a plate containing 7,29,732 calories per household to break even with the energy required for his sleigh ride on Christmas night.

    I do think the speed of light is probably lowballing how fast Santa will need to go to hit each household, but if these calculations are true then Satna will need to eat Food theories lowball calorie consumption every day for 13 months for one night of gift-giving. I do think however we can shave .09% off this assumption with a higher estimate of how many calories Santa eats in a night and energy the magic energy efficiency of Santa (Ie. a Sleigh that can absorb high heat of light speed to prevent igniting the atmosphere or singed wrapping paper. As well as near zero waste production due to the lack of Santa remnants from his activities.)

    *{ 2.5 billion divided by the average household of Christians being 4.5 members and assuming the number of non-Christians who celebrate Christmas and Christians who do not believe in Santa is approximately the same.})

    I grossly overthought this but I always found it more fun to see how something is done rather than why it can't is done. XD. I also think it is crazy that if you play with the numbers and assumptions a bit you could rationalize that Santa eats almost evenly 1/365 of his energy required for 1-day thanks to everyone who leaves a little something for him once a year. It is a cute thought

  5. I probably misunderstood, but does he think that if a person is christian, they'll then and only then expect a visit from Santa? Bc when he talked about the 37 or so % of brits who are christian, he did the math based on the the idea that the Christians are the ones expecting Santa. (7:55) I'm not offended or something, I just thought it was funny

  6. is it only in Hungary that instead of Santa, JESUS brings the presents? And we dont do this whole cookie thing lol. But we do celebrate Santa before Christmas, in december 6 and we clean our boots and Santa puts stuff into it XD

  7. MatPat, my 7 year old son very politely asked me to let you know that the correct pronunciation of Kiribati is more like 'Kiribas.' The 'ti' sound in the native language sounds like an English 's'. This particular mispronunciation has been a pet peeve of his since he was 3. He was excited to see/hear you mention the country and even more excited to share the correct pronunciation with you.

  8. Talking about all of these baked goods reminded me of the fact that all processed yeast bread, has some alcohol in it. So maybe the next food theory can be on how people in the ENTIRE WORLD have been feeding children alcohol, for decades. And also, I would like to know if there is a way to make bread with zero alcohol production?

  9. Theory idea: Rudolphs mom is his adoptive mother thats why he has his red nose and she showed up at the birth but she was too late she was dead and the mother was out of the frame so she became his mother as she was the god mother. :3

  10. Ah yes… Flawless.

    …assuming a semi-divine entity such as Santa Claus has the same anatomy and digestive limitations as us mere mortals. As well as implying IT perceives time the same way we do.
