Santa apologists, sometimes called full-flighters, have long held the belief that Santa himself delivers all the Christmas presents during a single flight around the entire world. My brother Matthew and I set out to prove that this is not possible for a variety of reasons such as the distance of the trip, the number of stops, and the fuel requirements. As we got further into our research, we began to see that maybe the Santa apologists were right after all.Sources supporting the full-flighter argument:https://www.noradsanta.org/en/maphttps://www.altogetherchristmas.com/music/ISawMommyKissingSantaClaus.htmlhttps://www.altogetherchristmas.com/music/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer.htmlhttps://www.adirondack.net/holiday/top-songs/grandma-got-run-over/https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43171/a-visit-from-st-nicholas
