How Roaming Almost Stole Christmas

Starring Conan O’Brien as Santa

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and up in his sleigh,
Santa was cruising through clouds on his magical way.

The reindeer were soaring, the stars shining bright,
But Santa felt troubled—something wasn’t quite right.

He reached for his phone to check on his list—
The Naughty or Nice one—it couldn’t be missed!

But up in the sky, oh what a disaster,
His bars had dropped fast—no signal! No data!

“Oh no!” Santa cried, his face filled with fright,
“I can’t check the kids! Not this close to night!”

He swiped and refreshed, gave his phone a good tap,
But all that appeared was the spinning load app.

Just as St. Nick was rerouting his sleigh,
A voice called out brightly from not far away.

Down on the rooftop, a girl with a grin,
Waved up at Santa and said, “Need help logging in?”

That little girl, so clever and quick,
She’d spotted poor Santa in need of a fix.

“I can help you, but be careful, don’t fall!
You need an eSIM from Airalo, that’s it, that’s all!”

Santa leaned in, his eyebrows raised high,
“What’s Airalo? The time for presents grows nigh!"

Lucy explained with a wink and a cheer,
“It’s global phone service for all time of year!”

With a swipe and a tap, his worries were through,
The lists all appeared, both old and new.

Santa revealed a box wrapped in red,
“For such a smart girl, a well-earned gift,” he said.

Then he sprang to his sleigh, to the team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But she heard him exclaim, as he soared out of sight,
“With Airalo, I’ll text you—Merry Christmas! Good night!”
