Remember kids - it's a common misconception that santa flies along being towed by reindeer the entire way - reindeer are actually incapable of sustaining thrust for such a long journey.
In actuality, santa uses the reindeer as a booster to enter low-earth orbit, then the spent reindeer are detached to safely burn up upon re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. Santa can make his present deliveries as he orbits the earth and then he has ~11 months for his orbit to decay enough for him to return to the planet for the cycle to repeat again next year!
