Gift Search Widens

As the search for the missing Christmas presents enters its third day, the search widens to the areas surrounding the North Pole. Bernard Elf, Santa's #1 Elf, has been leading the search for the gifts since it was first discovered on Monday. "When Holly Elf got to the Wrapping Room on Monday, all the presents that were stacked in the room had disappeared," reported Bernard. We were in a big empty room."

"We searched all of the other places the presents might be," added Holly Elf, "but we couldn't find them.

"And we searched well," added Holly. "I've been the North Pole's 'Hide and Seek' champion for years now, so I know how to search a room!"

Bernard, Holly, and a number of other Elves, including Jiller Elf, have started searching in the Yeti caves just outside of the North Pole. "If something's not where it should be, then search where it shouldn't be," said Jiller.

The Elves even asked the Yeti--also known as Abominable Snowmen--to help search for the presents. "They were very willing to help," said Jiller, "but they needed a little help themselves. Bernard told them 'we need to see presents under the tree,' so they started pulling up pine trees in case the presents were hiding in the roots. And, no--they weren't!"
