Toy Day 2014 – Christmas Eve

I got two letters in the mail today. One was a letter from Gulliver, who sent me a tribal mask from Kenya. The other was this letter from Dad, wishing me a happy Toy Day. He attached a record player to the letter.

Dear Jeff, Remember when I dressed up as Santa to give you your presents? I always got a kick out of seeing you smile. -DadMy villagers were initially fooled by my outfit, and they thought I was Santa. Even though they’ve seen me wearing this outfit for weeks already.

Molly: Santa?! Did you get my suggestions for improving the aerodynamics of your sleigh?But they kind of figured out I wasn’t Santa…but only because Jingle wasn’t in town yet.

Big Top: Oh, wow! SANTA! But...you can't really be him. After all, Jingle's not in town yet.Jingle doesn’t show up until 6:00 p.m. though. But once the time came, I found Santa’s deer friend by my eastern ramp.

Jingle: Happy holidays! I'm Jingle, the black-nosed reindeer!He asked me to help him out by delivering the presents to the villagers in town. He gave me Santa’s bag to carry around.

Jingle: That Santa bag is a magical sack filled up with presents for everyone here in town!So I began giving out presents to my villagers. Thanks to the notes I kept of the hints my villagers gave me throughout December, most of the presents were pretty obvious. For example, Sprinkle wanted yellow food, so the banana in Santa’s bag was clearly her gift of choice.

Sprinkle: I must've been SUCH a good penguin this year!A few of them weren’t quite that obvious, but they weren’t that hard to figure out. Amelia’s “yellow doll” turned out to be a lucky gold cat, and Kabuki’s “brown toy” was a foosball table.

Kabuki: Ooh, a foosball table! My wish came true! Hooray!The gifts made all of my villagers quite happy.

Big Top: Awesome! Thanks! This is proof that there really is a Santa!I delivered nine of the presents, but I was having trouble finding Drago. It turns out, he was down on the beach!

Drago: Not to sound greedy, but where's my present?I gave him his yellow clothes (a leopard tee) and I was done! I then returned to Jingle and he took Santa’s bag back. He congratulated me on a job well done; I delivered everything to the right person animal.

Jingle: Let's see... Yup, yup! You've indeed delivered everything perfectly, kid!He gave me a festive wreath as my reward.

Jingle: Since you did such a holly-jolly job, I'll give you a special little present. It's a festive wreath!I should be getting Jingle’s picture in the mail tomorrow for completing the event perfectly.

Thank you all for visiting, and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! 🙂 I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow, so I hope you’ll stop by again!
