Yes, it is humanly impossible for one person to deliver billions of presents in less than 12 hours world wide.
If he does exist, then he must have a lot people helping him out, and I'm sure you know who they are.
A FEW years ago the assistant managing editor of the U.S. Catholic magazine wrote:
“Whereas the true lesson of Christmas is a message of divine mercy and sacrifice, Santa is the front man for greedy corporations, and the tutor in greed for millions of American children. He is the saint of gimme. He has become a total sellout to materialism and greed. He is in the pay of the big toy manufacturers and department stores. A greedy child is never appeased. A spoiled child appreciates nothing. An overindulged child is convinced that the major figure of Christmas is not Christ, but himself.”
This editor thought that Santa should have been left at the North Pole.
Our children, from and early age, knew, and were told there was no such person as Santa Claus, we never had a problem with them. We did not set one day out of the year to give presents to our children, it could be any day, week, or month.

No, no one can prove he doesn't exist. In fact, he does exist as a concept, and a basis for a lot of today's beliefs. He also is helpful in teaching children selfless giving, and compassion for others. I would not tell your children he doesn't exist until they are older, and can understand that the concept was based upon an actual person, whose spirit lives on in people today.

Its one of lifes little miracles that despite all the nasty bad uncaring people in this world nobody has ever made a serious effort to disillusion little innocent children by declaring that there is no Santa !!

Yeah. The fact that the "To and From" tags are written in your mom's handwriting. Don't tell the kids anything! Let them enjoy their childhood.

Don't tell them, until they figure out if he's real or not.
