Prep and Landing/WMG

Being magic, the North Pole characters are able to learn all the code names and rules in the Prep and Landing book in record time.

 * The size of the handbook for the force must be STAGGERING. A new command is given at least every 30 seconds of the special, and they're all handled effortlessly and without fail. They had centuries to learn them, but the task of serving every child in the world in one night certainly requires that ability, and we know they need new recruits from time to time.

Lanny is a late-bloomer who still needs to practice said ability.
