Remember writing Christmas lists? You have a list, sometimes a really long list, but there’s stuff you want! You write it all down, or word process it (although it’s nice to know that in the future, robot Santa still uses a scroll and parchment), and send it off.

But we can also assume that Santa has a sizable enterprise-wide back end with distributed front-end processing for all his elves, right? If he wants to keep up and be able to continuously distribute gifts to all the good boys and girls, and a few adults as well, he needs to computerize. And that’s exactly what this kid is assuming. I think it’s a safe assumption, and I have to give him credit for writing all that out! A regular list would have been easier.
