We have indeed taken the king of gifts. We know how valuable he is to you. You need to do your best to save him. I am the Anti-Santa. You do not know my identity. You never will. I shall give you clues to Santa's location. You need to give me your answer by 15:00 hours EST on Sunday 24th Decemeber, Christmas Eve. If you guess correctly, Santa will be released to you and I shall disappear. If your guess is wrong, I shall take over Christmas. I will win.
