The other half is STOPPING them TALKING!

:-o Of course he is - his beard & hair are only white because of the frost he has to travel through in winter!!!!

In fact he's a bit like a stoat and a ptarmigan he changes colour...

Sure santa is real, he has to travel around every metre of the world in 12 hours eating over 10,000,000 mince pies and stopping to feed over 10,000,000 carrots to the reindeers without being seen at all.

P.S. Reindeers cant fly at mach 4
Fly fast jets and/or C130s over my house please, I'm bored!

You obviously aren't familiar with the effect of carrots on reindeer. ;)

XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.
