Santa maintains a huge list of children who have been good throughout the year. The list even includes addresses, ZIP codes and postal codes
The list, of course, gets bigger each year by virtue of the world's increasing population. Santa has had to adapt over the years to having less and less time to deliver his toys.

Father Christmas is a name used in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and several other Commonwealth countries and the USA, for the gift-bringing figure of Christmas or Yuletide. The same figure with the same name exists in other countries (in that country's language),I KNOW THAT such as France, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
