Yes, it’s true. Santa (at least when he blessed us with his presence at Public Strategies) traded in his sleigh this year for Bev, my Smart Car. And if I do say so myself, her sour apple green color offset the reindeer, presents, elves and bows perfectly! Bev even kept the Grinch at bay to keep Santa’s elves on schedule!
Santa’s interest in using a Smart Car for his sleigh just solidifies my belief that he shares a number of my core values. Yes, I love to surprise and delight people at the holidays just like Santa, and now I find out that good ole St. Nick is stepping into the 21st century to move about on Christmas Eve. It’s too good to be true.
The reindeers were grateful for his change of heart as well. Even though they powered Bev for the annual present drop, when all was said and done – Bev helped conserve the energy of our reindeer friends by using far less fuel (in this case – the four-legged-powered reindeer energy kind of fuel). Basically, Bev weighs much less than Santa’s old sleigh!
Looking forward to seeing Bev make the rounds with my favorite white-haired, chubby guy in a red suit next holiday season!

What a versitile little creature Bev is! Who knows, maybe next she’ll sprout wings!
