Sometimes even Santa Claus needs a break from the seemingly endless demands of eager children with visions of what’s to come Christmas morning. Under the guise of a reindeer feeding time, this Kris Kringle takes a short, but well deserved, timeout this week at the Oaks Mall.

Bruce Springsteen first played “Merry Christmas Baby” live during a three-night stand at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY , December 31, 1980, during The River Tour. The song debuted on December 28th and was every night of the band’s four-night stand in New York. The New Year’s Eve performance was notably the longest Springsteen show ever recorded, clocking in at 4 hours and 38 minutes. The song was released as a B-side to “War” from the Live/1975-85 album.

Harry Resnick, of no-home U.S.A. uses his thumb on the Archer Road I-75 on ramp hoping to catch a ride to Baltimore, where he says he has friends. He’s spent the last two months in Fort Lauderdale, and decided to go north for Christmas. Experienced in this way of travel, Harry, after too many rejections moves up to the highway, where he is less safe, but puts himself in front of many more possible rides.
