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.

One Ticket to See Lil Wayne at AT&T Center on September 9 at 7 p.m. Three Options Available.
Amphitheaters were engineered so that the public could witness philosophers show off their debate skills, get visibly frustrated, and then settle arguments with break-dance battles. Take in the view with today’s GrouponLive deal for one reserved ticket to see Lil Wayne’s I Am Still Music tour at the AT&T Center on Friday, September 9, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. Choose from the following options: • For $30, you get one reserved ticket for a seat in sections 201–204 or 228–231 (a $49.75 value before fees, or up to a $61.27 value online, including all Ticketmaster fees). • For $41, you get one reserved ticket for a seat in sections 206–208 or 224–226 (a $69.75 value before fees, or up to an $83 value online, including all Ticketmaster fees). • For $52, you get one reserved ticket for a seat in the 100 level (an $89.75 value before fees, or up to a $103.97 value online, including all Ticketmaster fees). Running off the sonic fuel from his I Am Not a Human Being album and just-released Tha Carter IV , Lil Wayne lands his spaceship for a speaker-blowing stop on the extended leg of his summer tour. The Grammy winner touts an impressive curriculum vitae , punctuated by CEO status, unabashed genre crossing, and lyrics woven together by sagacious metaphors. Although Tunechi fans can anticipate a high-octane performance rife with hit singles, the tour’s white-hot opening acts acclimate concertgoers with equal parts R & B silk, rap grit, and synth-powered moxie. Frequent Lil Wayne collaborator and Miami boss Rick Ross partners with breakout diva Keri Hilson , club-banger maestros Far East Movement , and velvet-voiced Lloyd for a hard-hitting evening that far surpasses backyard puppet shows featuring homemade pyrotechnics.
