It could be argued a few ways. Firstly, Santa has reindeer who can obviously fly, so they pull the sleigh along, but something has to make the sleigh stay upright, correct?

If people stopped believing in Christmas, Santa would never leave the ground.

How did Rudolph become the ninth reindeer?

== == Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was a character invented in 1939 by Robert May, an employee of the Montgomery Ward department store chain. Rudolph appeared in a give-away promotional booklet for the Christmas holiday season that year and became enormously popular through the years. The other eight reindeers"used to laugh and call him names" and wouldn't let him play any "reindeer games". But there was this one "foggy Christmas night" where Rudolph (with his shiny nose) jumped in to lend a hand and lead Santa so he could deliver his gifts - which was well accepted by the reindeer that once gave him a bad time. From that point forward, the other reindeer accepted Rudolph and he would be forever known as the 9th reindeer.
