Santa's Mission

The North Pole Logistics Team is theorizing that if Santa zig-zags up and down the earth’s longitudes, always moving west into new time zones, he will have 29 hours of darkness within which to deliver presents. The support team is on hand throughout to ensure that Santa has everything he needs to maintain a professional appearance while adhering to all safety and health protocols.
