    Why don’t we adapt religious holidays and make them more sciency?

    Theists do this all the time, and it would stop them from claiming we aren’t allowed to celebrate their stolen holidays.

    Quantum Santa can deliver presents everywhere at the same time, but shouldn’t be observed, or it would collapse into a singular outcome.

      Won’t the gifts also be a mere probabilitywave, and observing the space under the sciencemas tree would cause it to collapse into a single gift at a single location?

        Each present is a real particle, but their distribution is affected by the self-interaction of quantum santa. This allows every present to have the same initial trajectory but different destinations.
