I have to say that I stopped believing in Santa many many years ago... WHAT??? Say it isn't so! OK I know you're a retired LEO which I very much respect, one of the hardest jobs in the world. But still?? You have to hang on to something. It’s the spirit that its all about. I know he's real because I've been getting coal since 1976.

Good idea on the windshield; reindeer droppings are like big deer pellets but are somewhat trianglar in shape, they really hurt if they are frozen when they hit you.

Many years ago when my sisters and I were in our teens my mother told us that only those children who believed in Santa could expect a gift from him; we are all middle aged now with teenagers of our own, but still believe when we are at mom's house.

Should have never went there with the ex-lax thing. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Stupid. Worrying about what’s coming down my chimney Blitz BTW I've been saving the coal.

I liked Ors answer, but it is built on the premise that it is a single operator. The laws of physics indicate this probably not the case, and instead direct us to it being a number of sleighs, with Santa just being the boss of the company.
Most likely, the sleighs are equipped with sat phones and PLBs, and there are backup and SAR/TRAP sleighs staged around the globe, so pick up the payload and carry on with the mission while the busted sleigh's crew is evacated and the ride either lifted out or destroyed in place.
As far as the kits go, odds are they are built using the technology as the toy bag, and are fully equipped for most outcomes. In case of a water landing or extremely adverse conditions, pull the pins on the PLB and the strobe on the outside, crawl in, tie it off, and open an air bottle. You should float, or be isolated from the elements. Wait for pick up.
That of course assumes that the elves aren't merely serfs. In which case, they may be disposable.
