Not that anybody asked, but If you accumulated all the flora, fauna, and metal that your True Love gives you each day in the “Twelve Days of Christmas” song, you would own 12 Trees, 40 Gold Rings, 140 Humans, and 185 Birds of 6 different species.

A star forming region cataloged as NGC 2264, this beautiful but complex arrangement of interstellar gas and dust is about 2,700 light-years distant in the faint but fanciful constellation Monoceros, the Unicorn.

Santa's pale because he visits in the middle of six months of darkness on Earth’s North Pole. And for the other six months, the Sun ascends no more than 23.5 degrees above the horizon. And he delivers gifts only at night.
All combined, Santa might be the whitest person on Earth.

Not that anybody asked, but the Northern Arctic is just Ocean. So Santa’s North Pole Workshop has only ever existed on a floating sheet of ice.
No fur trees.
No hills.
Occasional seals.
And polar bears — for now.

On this day, Earth's North Pole tips away from the Sun, while the South Pole tips towards it, bringing the first day of Winter to the Northern Hemisphere with increasing daylight, and the first day of Summer to the Southern Hemisphere with decreasing daylight

Of all colors, Red Light penetrates fog best. That's why Benny the Blue-nosed reindeer never got the gig.

If people left Hot Tea, Carrots, and Celery for Santa on the table Christmas Eve, rather than Milk & Cookies, I bet he’d be much, much, thinner.

Both male & female Reindeer grow antlers, but males lose them in late Autumn. All Santa’s reindeer are therefore female, which means Rudolph is persistently misgendered.

It’s easy to be cooped up inside during days and days (and days and days and DAYS) of rain when you’re little. The whole inside is another world to be explored. And now we have bully sticks hidden (by the dog) everywhere in the house. Thanks, Wonder Mike!
