Lets not read too much meaning into those nifty little facts shall we? :)

What you wrote is all very nice but if you read my initial post, Santy would have to
get up to speed within about 1/100th of a second, unless he doesn't actually stop at
the house, he may just do a low-level fly-by. Wow, that paints an interesting
picture :)
