Challenges that Santa faces in his work
The importance of maintaining personal professional privacy information

The different risks associated with flying a sleigh around the world
Some of the exciting experiences Santa has had while delivering toys

Quotes:
"We have to come up with about 2 billion toys a year, maybe a little bit fewer because of the little naughty ones, but that's not such a big number."
"I mean, ever since the ‘great elf resignation’, it's been tougher than blazes to get elves."
"If we were down there, we'd be up to our butts in elves, but we can't do that because the FAA won't let us fly over the 48 states. You know, they won't give us the permission. And then there's the whole labor thing.”
“We are a risk manager's nightmare here. I'll tell you; we have a risk oversight committee, and we've got representatives from all the various health departments, and, you know, we’ve got air traffic control risks, we have risks of all those little reindeer hooves damaging roof tiles-- oh, the insurance company is all over us for that - we're working through that. We've got technology risks, you know, the sleigh is a very sophisticated piece of equipment.”
