Presumably, Saint Nick can visit upwards of 4 billion homes in the course of 6 hours.
To accomplish this task, he would have to have the ability to travel very quickly.
I propose that he does not himself visit each home, but rather he has an army of Christmas Ninjas. We have been led to believe that these Ninjas are "elves". In fact, this is mis-information, one of the ninjas favorite weapons.
Now this raises the question, How does Santa pay this army of ninjas?
Let's do a napkin calculation. Assuming ninjas are equivalent to 20 men (Ninja Scaling Factor, NSF)(conservative I know), an average man of some talent could break into 20 homes in 6 hours.
4E9/400= 10 million ninjas distributed across the world.
Assuming they are paid only during the holiday at a reasonable rate (~15/hour).
10million*15$/hr*6 hrs=900 million in wages, not including medical or dental (will tack on 10 million (he can get a six hour policy).
Santa has to fork over 910 million each year in labor alone. Add to that, the cost of 6 billion presents (~50 bucks a pop) and we're looking at ~300 billion.
Where's the money coming from Santa. You must be running some pretty high grade "snow" from the North side to pay for this. I wonder what his tax rate is.

Santa is obviously running a very large drug cartel.
