What do you tell a child who still belives in Santa, when they ask why Santa doesnt visit all the houses?

I was wondering today when the "toys for Tots" Commercial came on the radio, what I would say if my son who still belives in Santa asks why doesnt Santa just visit all the houses?

Answer:
Explain that santa brings presents to all the kids, but kids also still get presents from relatives, friends, etc. And explain how the kids in these commericals don't have any relatives or freinds to give them gifts, so that's why other people help donate toys to them so they don't feel left out.
Some don't have chimneys and Santa can always use a little help
some times santa needs help from parents becuse there are so many children in s so many countires and this is how mummies and daddies can help
just tell him the truth..
You will have to explain that there are too many people for Santa to get too all in one night, so he has many helpers that get toys, deliver them, listen to what kids want (at the mall), etc. Santa is a big secret that makes children glow in a way that you will only see once a yeat until the secret is out. The longer you keep the secret, the longer you get to see them glow!
some poor children dont have houses...
Remember when you used to send your letter off to St. Nick? Just remind your youngster that these folks are just helping to fill last minute requests from letters that arrived late.
if he is old enough to be asking such questions, instead of giving him a complex and long "fake" answer tell him the truth! it will reveal al lot of things in question in his mind about Christmas.
U tell them that Santa is retired, because he is so old, And he asked all the parents to pitch in and take over, and now that is why mommy and daddy get you what santa would have gotten you.
tell the kid he visit all the houses but he do it very late at night so people dont see him putting gift under the tree.
you could tell your child that some of the kids are so bad that santa doesnt think that they even deserve coal
Tell him that sometimes Santa needs help taking gifts to all the children so we help him.
The way my parents broke it to me was they asked me "Do you believe in santa?" I would say yes...then they would say "really"

They just keep on questioning me about the rationality about it untill I got it.

I think all kids question it.but never fully accept it because santa is just too good of an idea to let go of so easily.

I dont have kids yet but Im wondering if I will even do the whole santa thing...I might, but I might not be so serious about it.
