| Highlights- Proof that Santa exists
[Santa search] - Of course Father Christmas exists, and he can visit arbitrarily as many children has he pleases in as short a time as is convenient, barring mid-air reindeer pile- ups. The reason is that Father Christmas is a Macroscopic Quantum Object.
[Santa search] - let's think of Father Christmas as a particle, obeying the rules of the quantum world. Following the logic of the two-slit experiment, it is perfectly possible for him to visit all the good children of the world simultaneously, provided that he does so unseen. If he is spotted, his wavefunction will collapse and he will be revealed as your Dad with a comedy beard after all. The quantum nature of Father Christmas explains the taboo against seeing him do his job - which Dawkins does not explain.

| ...sighting of Santa ... |
| Highlights- was the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
[Santa search] - "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
[Santa search] Notes- Actual sighting of Santa

[Santa search] - What does Santa eat? Answer Oh, look at my picture. I'd eat anything, including bytes and bits and get more fat, unfortunately. But if you insist, please leave an egg nogg for me for Chistmas, that'll do.
[Santa search] - Are you immortal? Answer Yes I am, to a degree. If people believe in me, I exist. If there is no belief, I am discontinued. But I have seen that there are more demand on me than ever, in this everchanging and risky world.
[Santa search] - Question How can you deliver all the goods you are supposed to give, in one night? Answer Well, there are local timing differences.

[Santa search] - The analysis you sent me about the death of Santa Claus, based on classical physics, is seriously flawed owing to its neglect of quantum phenomena that become significant in his particular case.
