John Malkovich’s voice and spectacular cadence in your head:
- “It is estimated that Santa’s sleigh weighs 353 thousand tons. So, traveling at 650 miles per second would create such enormous friction that Santa and his reindeer would burst into flames. You understand? Like a meteor entering the atmosphere. This is a scientific fact.”
Therefore Santa and his reindeer must be fireproof! I understand.
The more you learn about Father Christmas the more you realise he’s an eldritch creature of phenomenal power. The fact that we can appease an Old God capable of destroying us in an instant with a simple offering of Sherry and a Mince Pie is nothing short of a miracle.

Yo bro what are you doing you’re gonna start a holy war
Santa’s sled has ablative shielding.
This is why fires in fireplaces pose no threat.
Santa & his coterie are quantum so it doesn’t matter what you think his velocity is
Unless you don’t know his position
I know this is supposed to be a shitpost, but what does weight/mass have to do with friction tho?? Also no even thaaat fast, so probably no flames but enough friction to tear their skin off.
I’m guessing, this is a Santa that doesn’t magically fly through the air, but actually sleighs on the ground…

Yea but who puts my presents under the tree? Checkmate liberal
