After watching the vid Thomas, I'd disagree with your analysis and say that Santa is picking with side to side wrist movement (or wrist deviation as Troy Grady calls it).
If you look at the end where he tremolo picks, he locks his wrist and uses all elbow movement to get the speed.
With wrist rotation you can get tremolo picking speed without changing your technique. Although Danny is right; to get that Van Halen aggressive picked sound you have to arc the wrist. It's just extra leverage making the pick travel further and generate more power.
Anyway. I think you should refrain from looking at any more high end guitars before your Mrs has a sense of humour failure.

@MatthewShreddery Nice playing and interesting note choices. :-bd
With regards to your alternate picking; there is definitely forearm rotation. Your motion is very economical so it's not immediately apparent, but if you look at the top of your forearm where it meets your sleeve you will see the movement there. Of course there will be some movement of the wrist too. Good stuff.
Fair play to Troy Grady, he's made me far better at analysing my own picking and my playing has noticeably improved as a result.
