If we assume that Santa Claus is a folkloric element, symbolizing not a generalized, collective image of some kind, benevolent uncle who comes once a year, but rather a natural phenomenon inherent in our world de facto – let's say, like the change of day and night – then it would be permissible to consider his actions in the same way as an ordinary energy process. In this case, the synthesis of gifts for 91.8 million children, given the input data in the form of a Lego construction set (about 1 kg), can be analyzed.
Let's consider the process of obtaining matter from energy.
Data for analysis: the famous E=mc2. The time allotted for synthesis is also known – 31 hours, i.e., 31*60*60=111600 seconds.
So, 91800000*1000*111600=10244880000000000. This is the energy in Joules required for the synthesis of the specified amount of matter. Considering that the Sun emits 6279527953568350 Joules to the Earth in the same amount of time, it turns out that the annual energy deficit is 3965352046431650 Joules. Considering that the Christmas tradition has been around for about 2000 years, we can confidently say that we would have frozen a long time ago...
