Food Theory tackles all the stuff Santa eats and drinks on his Christmas ride.
I'm all for exaggeration for comic effect, but this one is just silly. Obviously Santa converts the calories into magic power to:
* Maintain the time dilation field that allows him to visit all the houses in one night
* Powering the spatial fold inside the bag of presents
* Levitating the sleigh
* Imbuing the reindeer with the power of flight
* Reinforcing everything with a structural integrity field
* Teleporting into houses without adequately-sized chimneys
* And so forth
In fact, you could argue that Santa would burn himself out
without all those cookies.
Merry Christmas
