 		email from Sugar Plum:
Quote:
By now, all of you know that Santa has canceled Christmas. I know this is a terrible time, but please do not panic. You elves are trained well and are prepared for this worst-case scenario.

Here at the North Pole, we are on lockdown from now until the problem is resolved. We apologize that you will not be able to go home to your families yet, but we must do everything we can to get Christmas back on schedule. Those of you who are on the Random Acts Team who are still here in the village, we will not, unfortunately, be able complete our tasks. Those elves who have already left the North Pole, we're counting on you to do everything you can to help us show Santa that all hope is not lost. You should have all of your Task information soon, if you don't already. I can't do anything outside the North Pole, but you can! Please, help us. Now is the time to show your Christmas Spirit!

 		I got my letter! unfortunately my webcam is unavailable i'll put up a video when I get it back Contents:

One white, business envelope, postmarked North Pole Alaska,
my address on a business typed label, with a tree sticker.

It contained:

A book made out of construction paper possibly? a small rectanglur book fastened with one of those snowflake fastener things and it says on the Cover which is green "Random Acts." in red letters with a sticker reading Merry Christmas to you.

The next page is red, with copious amounts of sticks it says:

Quote:

It's Christmastime and I'm afraid
that our Tree is a dreadful sight.

All the Or(ornament picture here)aments fell off, you (sleigh)ee,
and there isn't a light in sigh(stocking)

Now (Reindeer)e're in a t(pointsetta)rrible hurry
to put Santa's tree to rights.
We need your help wit(bell with mistletoe) our Rando(Christmas Tree) Acts
to return all the ornaments and lights.

There are many tasks you can choose f(snowflake)om
and any way you do them is right.
Sh(different bell)re with friends, have fun, be (snowman)reative.
Let's save Chr(wreath)stmas Eve night!




Next page is green and each *'d option is in a different box it says:

Quote:

*play a reindeer game

*tell the Nativity story from an unusual perspective

*dress your pet up for Christmas

*build a snowman

*watch a Christmas move and give a review


Final Page is red and contains a receipe:

Quote:

Candy Cane Plant Pot

*30 to 40 cand canes, strong rubber band, clean tin can, evergreen trimmings - cedar, pine, spruce, juniper or holly, wire-edged ribbon


1. Place a strong rubber band around the tin can, about half way down from the top.

2. insert wrapped Candy canes into the rubber band so the hooked part of the cane faces outward.

3. Tie a wire-edged ribbon over the rubber band and make a nice bow.

4. Add sprigs of fresh evergreen trimmings.


on the back is a sheet of paper with a snowman, a bell with holly, a snowflake, a wreath, a sleigh, a stocking, a tree, a bell, and a sleigh.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Christmas





other contents of the envelope:

A red construction paper ornament with a silver ribbon tied to it and a gold snowflake drawn on it.

Some tinsel and glitter, some of those plastic "Merry Christmas" signs,

Two pipecleaner candy canes.

 		I got my Random Acts today also. My list of Random Acts is...

*Dress as an elf and hand out reindeer candy canes to people on the street
*Write a Christmas story or poem
*Create an ad for a Christmas product or service
*Tell us your favorite Christmas memory

It also included directions for making a Candy Cane Reindeer.

Quote:
Candy cane
Pipe Cleaner
5mm pair of wiggle eyes
Glue
5mm Pom-pom

1 Take a pipe cleaner and cut in half.
2 Twist pipe cleaner around candy can neck and form to look like antlers.
3 Glue pom-pom onto the end of candy cane hook. Pom-pom will form the nose of the reindeer.
4 Glue eyes just above pom-pom.


The back of my card has three reindeer, sleigh, bell, ornament, stocking, ornament, sleigh.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
www Santns (it had a slight misspelling) it should be Santas. Putting this together with the other clues leads to www.santaschristmastree.net

I think Sugar Loser is clinically insane. She's happy even in the middle of her greatest nightmare. She's the one who should be locked away.

 		Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around lately. I've been bogged down with a pretty bad cold and busy with my own Christmas crises...but I'm back! Very Happy

My mom just texted me saying I've got a "lumpy envelope" waiting at home, so my sister's going to bring it to me on Saturday. I'll be sure to post my list, contents, etc.

 		New blog entry from Santa...it's not looking good. He sounds completely defeated Crying or Very sad He says that Sugar Plum is the only one at the 'Pole trying to help, and that our grumpy friend has told her she's fighting a lost cause.

We need to work hard to get those lights and ornaments back on the Tree! Let's give that dang Snickerdoodle what for!! Catfight!
