ellemy favorite part of every Christmas special is when Santa and all the reindeer lift off from a roof and immediately head for the distant horizon instead of the house next door
Athena L.M.@ElleGray they have a complex and very inefficient route
Joel VanderWerf
The Witch of Crow Briar@ElleGray Those neighbors know what they did
James R.B. Eastwood@ElleGray the neighbors are Jewish.
Bioalchemy13 🇺🇸🇺🇦@ElleGray There are infinite Santas in the multiverse. They’re just not all visible in the same dimension.
Andrew Wooldridge ⛰️@ElleGray maybe they were done with that quadrant 😃 or perhaps all the other Santa instances were done already with the other houses ..
Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.
Mike (no not that one)@ElleGray Because at heart we all know our neighbors were on the naughty list...

The Dan@ElleGray Sounds like Santa is using a bubble sort algorithm.
Patrick Morris Miller@ElleGray They're using the same routing algorithm as Amazon drivers.
selje 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇳🇴 🇮🇪
John Torres-O’Callaghan@ElleGray Santa does the simple houses first. The last house is the complicated one that’s movie-worthy.
Maier Amsden@ElleGray There's a LOT of naughty households.
Molly B@ElleGray Google Maps told the reindeer they’d save two minutes with the other route. Which I guess would actually matter if you had that many stops to make in one night, unlike most of us who are just trying to get to a new restaurant and would rather spend two extra minutes than get on and off the highway three times
Aphrodite (recharging)logistics is freaking hard especially when a key criterion is that the occupants need to be asleep.
🇺🇦 haxadecimal 🚫👑@ElleGray Even Santa can't efficiently solve NP-Hard problems, including the Traveling Salesman Problem.
Geeden_Of_Arden@ElleGray He could use a hi-vis vest
Trump & Epstein: Biz partners.@ElleGray
I had a video on YouTube called "Swimming Bird's Death Plunge", piecing together clips from #Rudolph of the misfit toy saying he "can't fly. I swim", and later being dumped off Santa's sleigh w/o an umbrella (presumably to his death.)
The clip was up for 14 years. When NBC took over the rights to the cartoon, they scrubbed YT of every "Rudolph" clipped video on the site. 🤬 #Xmas #funny #SundayFunnies
Azarilhⓥ@ElleGray Not very efficient. Smh
David Cohen@ElleGray Yep, much like the FedEx truck when *I* am waiting for a parcel
Amoshias@ElleGray if Santa can do every house on earth in one night, he can just as easily do the non-sequentially. Yes, it would be orders of magnitude more travel, but it's impossible either way, so why not look cool doing it?
burncycle@ElleGray Santa uses the same navigation algorithm as my roomba
Martin Gleadow@ElleGray Santa is quantum
That's how science explained the unexplainable right? 😂
Tattie
I am Jack's Found 404Somehow the UPS no-left-turns policy holds up even for low altitude flight...
Ben Ramsey@ElleGray Santa traverses the nice list in order, but that list isn't arranged by physical address proximity.
Sin Vega
The pigtailed girl🏳️⚧️🩷💜💙So naughty santa didn't even bother with coal
noplasticshower@ElleGray ups does that
Codey McCodeface@ElleGray
“Welp, that was a fun adventure with those nice children. Back to the North Pole!”
Half an hour later, sipping cocoa with his feet up: “Oh, crap! The 2.2 billion other kids!”

Schroedingers_Cat@ElleGray Yeah, I hate my neighbours too.
Calamity8244@ElleGray omg! 😂😂😂 I effin’ love you‼️
Fredrik Björeman@ElleGray @mothninja “Santa Logistics” is either a scientific paper or a game waiting to happen.
