Seen in 702: Excuse me, I’m not done with Christmas yet

It seems like yesterday that America was gathering with loved ones, feasting on turkey and watching the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys lose. (OK, that also could have been Sunday, now that I think about it.)

But the late-starting Thanksgiving meant a shorter Christmas season. Never even watched one round of “A Christmas Story,” let alone seven straight hours.

Before we flip the calendar, let’s take one last spin through a Las Vegas Christmas.
