How Much Does Santa Work and How Much Time Does Santa Spend At Each Child’s Home?

May 9, 2020 by Karen Hill

Travelling at about a thousand miles a second, or 3.6 million miles an hour, Santa covers 111 million miles in 31 hours.

Within one second he must visit 500,000 homes, which is why we seldom see him.

Of course he does have help, and in some cases he delivers presents before Christmas or even works on Boxing Day, but it’s still very hard work.
