Here Are 3 Utah Alternatives To Light Santa’s Sleigh

Santa is out of options the fog has rolled in and visibility is too low to chance a flight this year. What to do? We all know the story. He just happened to notice Rudolph's nose glowing, like a headlight. The nose is used to guide Santa on his regular route saving the day and Rudolph's street cred for ever more.

What if Rudolph's nose had not been enough? What would Santa have done? Here are a few Utah options he could have turned to if the Rudolph option had not worked out.

Utah Headlight Brights:

I don't know if it's because we don't have enough cross-holiday traffic to make us more sensitive on the road, but we all know of that Utah commuter who uses high beams as the only way to light their way. If you are able to see the color of the driver's sweater in the cab of the truck that is going the opposite way, you might want to dim your headlights.

Your Neighbors Overzealous Christmas Light Display:

Sure it is great to celebrate the season, but does your neighbor really need to have a spotlight and runway for Santa to make his approach? Utah is known for pulling out the stops for the holidays, maybe your neighbor could pull the plug on a few of the inflatables. By the way in the morning when all of them are deflated for the day, it looks more like a Halloween display of a murder scene with all of the celebrities of the holidays melted to their doom.

The Brightness of Your Co-Workers Untanned Legs:

We all have the coworker who celebrates Utah's "mild" winters by never wearing pants. It was cool in middle school, but maybe as the sun fades and your skin is determined to remind all of us that you have Nordic ancestors you could try a pair of shorts that go to your ankles. We call them pants and they are an option for winter wear. Just an idea, I'm not saying it would be more comfortable for you, but it would be more comfortable for us.

So Santa if Rudolph's nose needs its 5 million mile checkup this year, swing by our fair state. I think we can work something out for you this year.
