Hungry for a little bacon?

I can sizzle like bacon,
I am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,
I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole,
What am I?

Can you help save Christmas?

Last year Santa was delivering his presents when he got stuck in a chimney. In fact, one of his reindeers had to pull him out. Unfortunately for Santa's schedule, that wasn't the only time he got stuck that night. Santa wants to take better care this year, but can't seem to remember all the details. Your job is to help Santa remember at what time and which kid he was delivering which present to and which reindeer helped pull him out at each stop.

• Santa was not delivering the Train Set to Craig.
• Rudolph hauled Santa out of one chimney exactly 1 hour before Santa was rescued from Diana's chimney.
• Building Blocks were delivered to Ryan after 1:30a.m. but before 4:00a.m.
• Blitzen hauled Santa out of one chimney exactly half an hour after Donner hauled him out of another
• Comet helped Santa when he was stuck in Jerry's chimney: this was not the last chimney that he was stuck in that morning.
• The Teddy Bear was delivered directly before the Doll, but not to Diana and wasn't with Santa when Rudolph pulled him out.
• Prancer did not help Santa when he was stuck in the chimney with Drums.
• No reindeer helped Santa out of a chimney with a toy having the same initial as the reindeer's name.

Times: 1:00a.m, 1:30a.m, 2:00a.m, 2:30a.m, 4:00a.m.
Reindeer: Blitzen, Comet, Donner, Prancer, Rudolph
Child: Craig, Diana, Jerry, Ryan, Sadie
Toy: Building Blocks, Doll, Drums, Teddy Bear, Train Set

Change, mister?

What is the smallest number N such that it is impossible to have $1.00 in change consisting of preciseley N coins? You can use half-dollars, quarters, pennies, nickels, dimes and dollar coins. So N = 1 is the dollar coin. N = 2 is two half-dollars. N = 3 is a half-dollar and two quarters. Etc...

I'll give you a hint, it's lower than 100, but higher than you think!

Pocket Change

A friend of yours (me!) announces he has a number of coins in my pocket that add up to precisely one dollar. When I tell you how many coins I have, you ask if any one of them is a half-dollar. I tell you no. You quickly realize that you can't tell for sure what coins I have, because there are six different combinations that produce precisely one dollar.

How many coins do I have in my pocket?

(US Coins only, please)

What could I be?

My visit spans two years,
And many people say I stay too long.
I go quite well with green,
But that is not the color that
Most people think of when they think of me.
What could I be?

I'm often set in place.
What am I?
