Ted’s Take:
Video doorbells have become a popular way to keep an eye on who’s knocking at your door, but now Ring is taking it a step further. They’ve enlisted the help of everyone’s favorite holiday grump, The Grinch, to provide “quick reply” phrases for their users. So instead of answering the door yourself, you can have The Grinch do it for you. Just imagine the surprise on your visitor’s face when they hear The Grinch telling them to leave a message because you can’t be bothered to come to the door. It’s a festive way to add a little humor to the holiday season. Just be prepared for some confused looks when your guests wonder why The Grinch is answering your doorbell. Who knows, maybe it’ll help keep those carolers away too. Nobody wants to be greeted by The Grinch when they’re trying to spread holiday cheer.
