In a world with transporter technology wouldn’t it be considered weird not being able to do that?
They also have anti-gravity sleds, there’s probably a planet somewhere with bioluminescent flying reindeer, the only truly unbelievable thing about the whole story is they’ve got a guy wearing a red suit and he doesn’t die.

I mean, I interpreted the statement as “this is something that happened” i.e. he’s aware that it’s a belief from the past, where transporter technology didn’t exist yet. I can’t believe the Santa tradition actually survives into an age where materialism is mostly eradicated.
But yeah also, the Santa thing contains that Santa actually physically delivers the presents himself, which, even with their current technology, is impossible. You’d need time travel for that.
Santa could be a Q. Just sayin.
Sounds like an average Tuesday for Chief O’Brien to me… but apparently there’s a TNG comic confirming Santa is real (and also the Grinch for some reason??)
I think you’re massively underestimating how many houses there are in the world.
Let’s be real, he ain’t visiting most of the houses. China and India, Indonesia, Pakistan, are mostly non-Christian, and then there’s a lot of poor people that Santa seems to skip over most years.
You’re absolutely correct, Garek, it’s a truly absurd fairy tale, by any measure. On a completely unrelated subject, may I introduce you to your lord and savior Jesus Christ?
I can hear this in Garak’s voice
I’m in the middle of a DS9 rewatch and I was unable to quiet his voice in my head!
No, it’s a magical morbidly obese senior citizen. Totally different.
Santa is stuck in one of those subspace bubbles where time runs much faster and it only intersects regular space on Christmas Eve.
You see, the secret is that humans - and especially children - are incredibly self-centered, and will rarely bother to think of the other people in the world at all. Santa is for them, not other people.
