Santa Claus is the world’s best-known Christmas gift distributor, a veteran sleigh pilot and the cheerful figure behind an operation that somehow delivers presents across the globe in a single night. Based at the North Pole, he oversees a busy workshop of elves, manages a demanding reindeer team and maintains the famously controversial naughty and nice lists. Recognised by his red suit, white beard and unmistakable laugh, Santa has spent generations bringing Christmas magic to families, while surviving an extraordinary diet of biscuits, milk and whatever else people leave beside the fireplace.
For this Reddit AMA, Santa steps away from the workshop to answer the questions people have always wanted to ask: how he gets into homes without chimneys, whether Rudolph receives extra pay, and what really qualifies someone for the naughty list. Participants can also ask about life at the North Pole, his favourite Christmas traditions and the logistical nightmare of delivering billions of presents. With centuries of experience and a seasonal workload that would test anyone’s patience, he may have a few colourful observations about Christmas, and the people who make it interesting.
