A Facebook post from user Pippa Timothy on December 23rd, 2017: Fun science fact, the North Pole elves are actually a eusocial gestalt (like ants, bees, etc). Santa is the Queen, not in the sense of power of authority but in that he is the sole reproducer. Each Santa lives about a year, and then they feed a pupal elf royal jelly so that it matures into a Claus. His belly jiggles like a bowl full of jelly on Christmas because generally they hatch a new Claus the day before Christmas Eve. Just think: right now the new Santa is flexing his ovipositor so he can leave eggs inside every chimney, drying out his wings for his first flight.

It all makes sense now... You leave snacks out so when the Santa-maggots hatch in the darkness of their chimneys, they can crawl out and be fed. Also why lil kids must never wait and watch, lest the kids themselves be eaten.

    I think, my brain broke from reading "fun science fact" followed up by "the North Pole elves"...

    Okay so what do we make of the sledge and reindeer? Are they also the spawn of Santa, in a different category like ants have soldiers and workers?

    If Santa is the Queen, there needs to be some male drones impregnating him. It would make sense that the reindeer would fly to the freshly hatched Santas to mate with them. The sledge is only their form of wings then.

    Having a new Santa each year, as well as a Santa with an exoskeleton, would address the insane g-forces his body would be under from delivering billions of presents all over the world in a few hours.

    I imagine Mrs Claus more like an Enderverse Hive Queen.

    All of the Elves and Santa's are just extensions of the self. This is how she can compile 'the list'. You think those Santa's and Elves are just doing dress up for the season, but all year they are extensions of the Santa hive, watching to see who is naughty and who is nice.

    Did your parent ever put on a Santa hat? They walk among us.

    This is also how 'Santa' delivers all of the presents in a single night... They are all '(Mrs) Santa'.

    Well this is ridiculous.

    But I never thought to ask where elves come from. Does Mrs. Claus give birth to them? Or they have elf wives that live there too, like a company town at the North Pole? Where they are kept poor and exploited by Santa, so he can fulfill the greedy capitalist dreams of spoiled first world children? It’s like slavery with extra steps. Yeah I got laid in college.
