Does Santa exist in an alternate universe somewhere? (moist.catsweat.com)

I know a question asking if Santa exists sounds childish but parallel universe theory is a thing. So even though Santa doesn't live at OUR north pole, does he live at the north pole in one of infinite parallel universes?

Here's the thing about "infinity."

There are an infinite number of possibilities between 1 and 2. 1.01, 1.001, 1.0001, etc etc. None of those infinite possibilities is 3.

True it would have to be physically grounded somehow. Maybe an obscure and uncharacteristically benevolent hyper rich fella sets up camp in the north pole.

I guess if we want Santa to exist historically it would take a religious level of interest and investment in ancient times. He would have to be reveared as a god and donated to. Then the organization can have the resources to get everyones Christmas list and send out presents on Christmas.
