I think it makes sense to use Santa Claus Delivery Time because that is the time Santa uses to schedule all his Christmas deliveries since January 1, 2000. Do you wish to dispute with the big man in red?
From Timegenie...
The North Pole has, for the longest time, used Greenwich Meantime as its official time zone.
However, this all changed on January 1, 2000. On this day, Santa Claus officially changed his time zone to UTC/GMT +12 hours.
In Santa’s official press release to timegenie.com, he stated numerous reasons for this change in time.
Santa Claus, along with Mrs. Claus, the elves and of course the reindeer, all decided that increasing pressures and competition from overnight delivery companies were hampering their ability to be the first to deliver gifts throughout the world on Christmas Day.
As a result, after much debate and discussion, Santa Claus and crew decided that in order to stay ahead and to be first, it would be best to be 12 hours ahead of Greenwich Meantime. This was done to ensure Santa and his trusty reindeer would be in sync with the countries that were located in the first time zone east of the International Date Line.
Additionally, in another shocking and stunning move, Santa Claus took drastic action and has implemented what he describes as "Christmas Delivery Time". This is similar to daylight saving time in that the North Pole will now jump 1 hour ahead from December 1 to January 1 of each year.
Chris Kringle, Santa’s official spokesperson told timegenie.com in a recent telephone interview, that Christmas Delivery Time was implemented as some countries in the southern hemisphere, such as New Zealand, observe daylight saving time at the time of Christmas delivery. This in turn means that New Zealand is UTC/GMT +13 on Christmas Day. By implementing Christmas Delivery Time, the North Pole will also be UTC/GMT +13 on Christmas day. This move, according to Chris Pringle, was strategically done in order to have a competitive advantage over the express delivery companies.
The North Pole has two time zones.
Santa Claus Standard Time (SCST) is from January 2 to November 30 of each year. Santa Claus Standard Time is UTC/GMT +12 hours.
Santa Claus Delivery Time (SCDT) is from December 1 to January 1 of each year. Santa Claus Delivery Time is UTC/GMT +13 hours.
Timegenie.com wishes to thank Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer for the delivery of Santa’s press release to us.
At the North Pole, it is now...
