Last night the CA today had me say ... "Folks, this is FO Rudolph and CA Kris Kringle, we've been cleared to runway 31 and looks like we are #3 for takeoff. Will Santa's little Elves please prepare the cabin for departure. Thank you."

I thought it was corny as hell. But, after we landed, all of the kids loved it and the people in the back had a good laugh and the flight attendants told us that they thought it was funny.
