Without magic, how would Santa Deliver gifts to 760 million children

 From planet money

We are amazed how Santa deliver the gifts to all children who are nice on Christmas days.  But without magic, how would Santa do it?

Well, he needs a lot.  He needs a courier service with 12 million workers, 300 747. The workforce would be 40x the current workforce of FEDEX  He needs 46 huge distribution centers and 40,000 employees (elves) to clear customs He would need the workforce of UPS and FEDEX combined.  But then again this is magic

How would Santa distribute gifts without magic?
