Cyber cheer

Didn’t get those Christmas cards off in time? Check out sendacallfromsanta.com. Call your grandfather a “dragonslayer,” or your wife “cutie pants.” I’ve already spent hours on this thing. It just doesn’t get old. —Ken Miller, associate editor

Dirty Vegas

Next time I decide to buy delicious popcorn (big claps to Popped) for presents, remind me to do it on Christmas Eve so I don’t eat my weight in Dill Pickle. —Erin Ryan, staff writer

Teutonic teddy bear

A new Elvis museum opened in Düsseldorf. Would have loved to have those tourists pumping money into our economy. After all, the song’s not “Viva Düsseldorf.” —Kristen Peterson, staff writer

Operator?

Forget the rejection line. If someone creepy asks for my number I’m giving them 719-266-2837: the Callin’ Oates Hotline. Maybe a quick listen to “Private Eyes” will ease the pain. —Sarah Feldberg, editor

Hairy ride

Our trip aboard Boulder City’s Santa Train was fun, but my 6-year-old wasn’t fooled. “He’s not the real Santa,” she whispered. “I felt his beard, and it’s not soft like yours.” Time to step up your game, Mr. Claus. —Spencer Patterson, managing editor
