This is because Santa will reach Alaska on 25 December which means he will get a chance to celebrate Christmas once again
Explanation:
- Established in 1884, the International Date Line (IDL) travels through the "Mid-Pacific Ocean" & follows the Earth's 180-degree longitude "north-south"line . It lies halfway around the world from the "prime meridian" — the longitude of zero degrees established in 1852 in Greenwich, Britain..
- The IDL is an abstract demarcation line on the Earth's surface that extends from the "North Pole to the South Pole" & demarcates the "change" of "one calendar day" to the next.
- It serves as a "line of demarcation" which separates two consecutive calendar dates. Santa becomes a a time traveller of sort as he hits the date line! Go west and the day is later One day after, which is 27th December; turn around (that is east side) (Alaska is on the eastern side of the IDL), and he has "returned back in time (which is 25th December)." .
- Despite its name, the international status of IDL does not apply and nations are free to select the dates they adhere. While the date line normally extends from poles to poles north to south, it zigzags around political boundaries, including East Russia and the Aleutian islands of Alaska.
