Christmas Magic Dust: Santa's Pre-Christmas Practice Run

Santa's Pre-Christmas Practice Run is a tradition whereby Santa tests his ability to locate children and deliver gifts. Santa relies on this night as a final "systems check" to establish efficient routes that will ensure Christmas Eve runs smoothly. Santa also uses this practice run to finalize his list of children to visit. This event happens each year in Nana's apartment, within a week of Christmas.A significant part of Santa's Pre-Christmas Practice Run is that Christmas Magic Dust needs to be scattered to create a visible pathway for Santa and his reindeers. No magic dust means Santa may not find the children on that night. The visit from Santa during the Pre-Christmas Practice Run is a relief to the children, as it confirms that Santa did not forget to add their names to the list.
