(You have to wonder about that kid's parents.)
The weight of Santa's sleigh loaded with one Beanie Baby for every kid on earth is 333,333 tons.
The number of reindeer required to pull a 333,333-ton sleigh is 214,206 -- plus Rudolph.
The average wage of a mall Santa is $11 an hour. With a real beard the pay goes up to $20 an hour.
