Moose On The Loose 2013

On December 1st, Santa snuck over to our house and left a special delivery in our mailbox.  When Sam and the boys were taking out the garbage, they discovered the special delivery… Mortimer the Moose was back for the third year in a row!  The kids were thrilled!

Here's the note Santa included with Mortimer: 

Dear Brian, Tyler, Katie, and Julia-

  

This is SANTA CLAUS here with a special treat for you!

Are you ready for some holiday fun?  Do you enjoy playing hide-n-seek?  Then you'll love this new game I'm going to play with you.

OPEN THE GIFT.

The game is called "Moose on the Loose."  Mortimer the Moose told me that he wanted to meet all four of you kids.  So I agreed to send him to your house for the month of December for a nice long visit.

So this is how the game works.  Every night before you go to bed, you put Mortimer on your Christmas shelf.  And during the night, one of my elves will sneak in you house and hide Mortimer.  When you wake up in the morning, it is your job to find Mortimer and return him to his spot on the Christmas shelf.

Does that sound like a fun game?  Beware that Mortimer can be mischievous at times.  He will probably hide in unlikely places.

Have fun, Brian, Tyler, Katie, and Julia.  Be good kids and I'll be sure to stop by your house on Christmas Eve with some special gifts for you.

Love, SANTA

Mortimer built marshmallow snowmen.

He also left a special note on the bathroom mirror.
