[Elf] What can we infer about the future of the world after the ending of the movie?

At the end of Elf (2003), a number of things become truth.

- Santa Claus is real.

- Christmas Magic is real (via the Claus-o-meter).

- The North Pole (Santaland) is real.

- Magic creatures like talking animals and sentient snowmen are real.

- The Naughty Or Nice List is real.

Realistically, how would this affect the world at large? I mean, sure, they didn't catch Santa's Sleigh on camera, but there were hundreds of people out on the streets singing Christmas carols as Santa flew overhead.

Would there be expeditions to the North Pole? Buddy the Elf laid down the basic route through the story books that were published.

Is Buddy forever a manchild? Or would he eventually become an 'adult'?

What about the NoN List?

Well, no one can really *prove* most of it. Especially the parts that only Buddy witnessed. Santa's been doing this for years, he knows a thing or two about leaving as few traces as possible. And that's for the best: more Christmas Spirit is produced when belief in Santa is based on faith than on evidence. For the sake of Santa's privacy, Buddy and his friends made sure that his book deliberately fictionalized things a little bit.

Buddy kept in touch with his inner child, but the doctor was right, meeting Walter did regress him a little, and with time he grew out of it. Due to the differing cultural expectation of elves he had an advantage in some regards (like work ethic) but a handicap in others. The end result was less "man child" and more "seriously awesome dad/uncle."

What *about* the list?
