The earth is travelling approx 67,000 mph around the sun.
Using an approximation that we're on a circular orbit (it is in fact elliptical) at 93m millions distant, the earth will travel 567m miles through space before Christmas arrives.
Even that is an underestimate since the earth is rotating, and we're also travelling at something like 600mph at this latitude as the earth rotates. Add that rotation onto the circular motion around the sun the figure will be larger still.

Not true, as the world is flat and so is the sun and it travels around the earth at the speed of a frisbee....

Just a sign of a mis-spent fortune on a specific author and his brilliant series of books.
