Watch for more cops at the scheduled sobriety checkpoints, especially south of town near Jeff City - they're upping vigilance as more and more Christmas (sweater) parties commence.

Um... pretty sure Santa drives a sleigh. Pretty sure he's had plenty of eggnog himself. Safe Santa? More like Operation-Our-Cops-Need-More-Hours-So-They-Can-Actually-Afford-Christmas.
