This week’s advent calendar gift is perfect for warding off intruders (2:35 ). Like, for example, a green guy dead-set on stealing the whole holiday… actually, don’t buy this thing, you don’t need it. Then, an exposé from inside the Federal Elf Protection Program (3:54 ) before the Grinch welcomes tonight’s guest, Meghan Trainor (7:53 )! She is far too charismatic for this cave.
