Cannot be discarded

When Used

| You study the controls on the time sleigh. Looks like they only have three settings:
You set the controls and push the button. Reality warps briefly around you. |
Notes
- Will probably only last until Crimbo Eve, as Uncle Crimbo mentions he will need it back.
- Changes the "last adventure" link to reflect the proper time period, if one's last adventure is in a Crimboween zone.
- Allows instant access to the three Crimboween areas upon ascension - one needn't consume another chocolate lump.
- If you attempt to click on the "last adventure" link after using the sleigh, but before the link updates, you receive the message "No way, yo."
- If you attempt to set the controls to an invalid setting via URL manipulation or remote form submission, you receive the message "Invalid setting. There are only three options, jeez."
References
- The flux capacitor is a reference to the Back to the Future movies, in which the time-traveling car uses such a device.
- A likely source for the "Gull-winged" could be that the time traveling car from Back to the Future is a Delorean and features the aforementioned gull-winged doors.
- 170-horse open sleigh is a reference to the one-horse one from the "Jingle Bells" song. The song also features dashing through the snow and laughing all the way.
- The mention of the ability to travel through "TIME ITSELF" is a reference to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, when Dr. Everett v. Scott claims Dr. Frank-N-Furter has created "A device which is capable of breaking down solid matter and then projecting it through space, and who knows, perhaps even TIME ITSELF!"
- 170-horse is a reference to the DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future which came from the factory with 170 horsepower.
