well you're assuming a shitload:

-There's one good child per household... my ass, if anything i'd expect all the good children to be in one household, and all the shitty ones in another due to factors like parenting, school environment, etc.
-The houses are evenly distributed aroudn the Earth.... also my ass, like you said Santa doesn't handle stuff other than Christianity. and last time i checked christian populations are clustered up a bit. not to mention there'd be entire patches of africa, europe, asia, antartica, and the freaking oceans (over 70% of the surface of earth) that santa could completely ignore due to lack of christians.
-you're not factoring in time zones....

Here's my theory.

Santa doesn't visit just anybody. Haven't you noticed your parents leaving presents, pretending to be Santa? That's because you aren't really good. There are probably only about 462 good children in the world to whom Santa actually brings presents. I mean, most children are pretty rotten.

Our no child left behind culture doesn't like to see exceptional children put on a pedestal, so we have this lie that Santa visits everyone, and the parents all go along with it so their children can feel special too.
