In popular culture, Santa Claus appears a paradoxical figure, generous with children’s gifts, but stingy with tips for the Easter Bunny. Enjoy Santa’s largesse with today's Groupon: for $9, you get a 10”x17” gold-level scroll from Santa.com (a $19.99 value).
Santa.com's dedicated elves apply St. Nick’s signature to Merry Christmas missives customized for their youthful recipients. The gold-level scroll arrives in a brilliant silver tube, sparkling gaily as though sent directly through the North Pole's fabled pneumatic mail system. As cautious loved ones unroll the large 10”x17” letter, eyes catch glimpses of elegant scarlet-and-gold borders and a massive ornamental seal before reaching Santa’s personal note, inscribed in fanciful script on the archival-quality cover stock. Though Santa.com provides suggested text for the letter, parents can customize the language to reference specific gifts or upcoming dentist appointments when they order. In addition to the gilded letter, during the summer children will receive a bonus message from Santa in a digital mailbox hosted on the website, where kids can make a list of desired gifts for the jolly fellow to pass on to family and friends.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Keeping a Secret
An old saying goes, "Three men can keep a secret, if they are best friends, and one of them is a cardboard dog." If you've been entrusted with a secret, consult this sure-fire guide to keeping it to yourself:
Think about the feelings of others. Especially their anger. You’ll likely avoid sharing their secret by considering your own predominant feeling: fear of their anger.
Seal your lips. Ideally with honey or room-temperature wax.
Find a healthy outlet. Some secrets are so juicy you just want to shout them from the rooftops. Instead, whisper your secret into a shallow vole's nest or speak it aloud at what would normally be an audible volume, were it not drowned out by a nearby car-crashing contest.
Share a secret of your own. Most modern friendships are based on a delicate balance of mutually assured destruction, hence the expression BFF, or Betrayer? Fairly foreseeable.
