As an ex-Jew, I have a lot of questions about Christmas, like: - What are the permitted species for a Christmas tree? - How long before Christmas can you purchase a tree before it stops being a “Christmas tree”? - What are the minimum and maximum number of decorations? (1/82349)

Your desire for midrashic levels of exegetical clarity on decoration density puts your “ex” status under suspicion

Please stop, the world is not ready for a rational Christmas. We've spent the last 2 millennia just getting traditional Christmas right.

It's actually a new child that must be purchased.

New presents must be purchased. Also true if child finds their Crayola Glow crayons wrapped in the closest a few days prior. (In fact, the hunt for hidden presents and such winnings is part of the fun of Christmas.)

We used to set the clock four hours ahead so the children could celebrate New Year's at 8pm. Funny thing was, they knew this yet it still worked for them.

The child would get coal. Santa cares not about intentions, only results.
-
Would the children getting coal have good results , or is in Santa's utility function to give "bad kids" (by human utilitarian standards) coal?.
-
Well Human standars + Santa's preferences about cristmas traditions.I had the relevant smbc in mind when reading your tweet.
-
As I understand Santa, the end goal of his utility function is to give good (or "nice") kids presents (as appropriate by Christmas tradition) and the bad (or "naughty") kids coal. I'm not sure what his algorithm to determine is, but he can't read minds (hence, hidden cameras).

I think advent calendars solve number 3.

We solved this by having ALL presents from Santa, and none under the tree until Christmas day. Also, if the kid can stay up till midnight, it's open season.

Do you aware that you genuine mind and curiosity for explaining how thing works sometimes bring huge depression and disillusionment in regular people. I wonder what values do you hold on by your self if you deconstructed most values people base their life on ;)

I came from a strict family who had a lot of riles to prevent this. As the youngest daughter, I was not allowed to go into the living room alone on Christmas morning. Instead, I had to wake my older sister, and if she deemed it an appropriate time, we would go to my parents.
-
Since my parents' room was on the other side of the living room, my sister would cover my eyes and we would walk sideways to my parents' room. This would prevent me from seeing the "Santa" gifts that were unwrapped on the hearth. My parents would then give the green light.

-Neither, just leave the situation as is. They got an early present.
