Today is Christmas Eve, and I’m so excited! There’s a big box underneath the tree, and it has my name on it! I can’t wait to open it and see what’s in there. My friend @TravelMonk2 suggested I should see how heavy it is (about as heavy as I am!), and whether it would respond if I tapped on it. I tried that, and although I wasn’t absolutely sure I thought it did. I’ve tried it again since then, and I’m much more sure I got an answer this time. Also, I’ve noticed that there’s what looks like an air hole at one corner of the package, so I think it might be a furry playmate for me! I do hope so - I did tell Santa in my letter that I’d love one, but I don’t know if he reads all the letters himself or if the elves just read them for him, and I don’t know how elves feel about bears asking him for presents.
Anyway, we’ll soon see - it’s only a few hours now till Christmas Day! *crosses paws tightly, & hopes for a furry playmate*
UPDATE: @TravelMonk2 has had the inspired idea of playing music to the package to see if it responds, so I’ve rigged up a playlist on YouTube, and I’m sure something in there is tapping its paws in time with it! I’ve widened the air hole with a knitting needle, and (again at @TravelMonk2’s suggestion) tried putting some small pieces of cookie and a grape inside. All have disappeared. I’m convinced that there’s a furry in there who ought to be got out asap, but I’m not allowed to open the package till tomorrow! @TravelMonk2 suggested an anipal protest, which I may have “accidentally” let slip to the humans, because they’re muttering things about an Anipal Mafia, and some bears getting too big for their paws. Meanwhile, I am sitting beside the package making sure that no-one disturbs it while I play it Christmas music and eat cookies (and put fragments through the air hole while no-one else is watching). Will they relent after midnight once it’s officially Christmas, or am I going to have to wait till after Christmas lunch? Surely not...
