It's a daunting task that has been passed down from generation to generation - delivering presents to children all over the world on Christmas Eve. But this year, the task is even more impossible than ever before. Recent calculations have revealed that in order for Santa Claus to deliver presents to all those who celebrate Christmas in a single 24-hour Earth-night, he must visit 25,000 homes per second. The sheer magnitude of this task has many experts questioning whether it is even possible for one man and his reindeer-drawn sleigh to accomplish such an incredible feat. With so much ground to cover and such a short amount of time, some are wondering if Santa will be able to make it around the world at all this year. "It's an incredibly difficult challenge," says Dr. John Smith, a professor of mathematics at Harvard University. "There are just too many variables involved for us to accurately predict how long it would take him or if he could even do it at all." Even with modern technology like GPS navigation and advanced sleighs powered by rocket fuel, there is still no guarantee that Santa will be able to make it around the world in time. And if he does manage to pull off the seemingly impossible feat of visiting 25,000 homes per second? Well then there's still no guarantee that every child will get their present on Christmas morning - after all, Santa can only carry so much! For now we can only wait and see what happens come December 24th - but one thing is certain; if Santa does manage to make it around the world in time for Christmas morning, then we should count ourselves lucky indeed!
