Weightlifting Santa Claus is getting bulked up for Christmas

Santa Claus has spent his offseason working out intensely, and he's never looked stronger with just a few weeks left until Christmas Day.
Santa needs to be insanely strong to do his job, after all. According to The Atlantic, there are around 520 million children who celebrate Christmas and will likely be receiving presents from Santa.
If we assume that the average child’s Christmas haul weighs 10 pounds (keep in mind that a PS4 weighs 6.1 pounds, and kids’ bicycles often weigh 15 pounds or more), Santa would need to carry 2.6 million tons of toys in his bag.
