Santa Spotted Heading Through Malibu!

St. Nickodermus rolls through town with a message.

No, really! And he drives an Escalade, too! Wow! Never thought I'd see the ol' St. Nickster on any other day, but sure 'nuf, here he was gassin' up and gettin' ready for the upcoming day of flying.

Now, I know what you're saying. "That's just silly. Santa would never drive an Escalade." I know! I mean, think about this for a sec, wouldn't you picture him in a Prius, Leaf or something similar? (he's very green, being all red and such...)

So, I popped on over and asked him.

"Yo, Nickinator," I said. "Where do you get off drivin' this beast? Shouldn't you be in a LeafPrius?"

He smiled like the Santameister does, then popped the hood on that puppy and what did I see? Twelve tiny reindeer run by green-powered tea! That's what! Holy Yule log! And, like where's the Elves gonna sit in a Leaf anyhow?

So, makes you think, right? Of course it does. About what? Glad you asked.

If Santa can do it, then so can we. Although I drive a Tahoe, and not everyone's prepared to go out and buy a PriusLeaf (or whatever's greenest), I still fill mine with green goodness like a Lifetime Oil Filter and drive safely. And, I have a fake tree to boot. No, not in the engine. That would be silly.

Ok. Now, where'd I put my coffee?
