The Blazer’s Edge Best Things Ever Bracket rolls on today as the Sweet Sixteen gets narrowed down even further. For those new to the process, over the last couple of weeks we’ve been discussing the merits and general coolness of 64 generally-interesting items, chosen fairly randomly and seeded into a March Madness-like tournament. Each day we post two articles, each with a choice between two of the entrants. You vote for one and explain your reasoning in the comments section. The winners advance
until we’ve crowned a Best Thing Ever for 2026. It’s our way of passing time during the slow NBA offseason.
This post gives you a really tough choice! You either need to vote for Santa Claus or Dolly Parton. Good luck!
Santa is a symbol of goodwill and peace, a jolly old elf who drives a low-carbon-footprint sleigh and brings toys to boys and girls everywhere.
Dolly is a symbol of goodwill and peace who made some nifty country songs and then spent the rest of her life reminding us to be kind to each other.
So who are you going to vote for, Dolly or Santa? Share your thoughts in the comments and we’ll see who goes onward in the tournament and who goes ho, ho, home.
