December 27

Kris Kringle is exhausted! He went on a 24 hour around the world flight, and he and his workers are enjoying a much deserved rest. Their village has faded away until next December first.The village was a "happening place" for this last month. The endorsements that Kris had with a major soft drink company had some rocky phases, but the bears and Kris have settled things amicably.They both are endorsing the company and using the perks offered them for their faces and personalities. Kris endorses for the month of December, and the bears and their friends have the rest of the year. The inhabitants of the village continue to enjoy free train rides, snow ball fights, ice skating, camp-outs, and other pastimes while working in the green toy factories set up by Kris. In the couple of warm summer months they have fishing competitions, speed boat races, and picnics at the lake.The invading Canadians have been assimilated into the population.; The BIG BUGS that came with them are being used as pack animals for the outings that are being planned.; The fly makes a great air transport for going over the hills to the reindeer herd.I'm saying good-by to the village for this year.  I hope you enjoyed the glimpse into the life of Christmastime Village.
