Brrrrrr! It's chilly to the tailbone out here. How do the rest of you get through Winter without hibernating? It's okay, that's my shtick anyway. But if you catch me rubbing the "tired" out of my eyes, it's because my trip to Dreamland was cut short!

Who could possibly stay asleep with those Cold Callers in the streets? Those frosty fiends "blah blah blah"-ing until you buy their products is enough to disturb any Toon worth their salt out of slumber. I don't think they even knew what they were selling.

Oh well, since I'm awake, I might as well make the most of it! Wintertime is the time for cold, and cold is the perfect temperature for polar bears. Any brand new bear Toons who want to make the jump to "polar bear" can meet me at Tutorial Terrace. Just give me a "Howdy!" and POOF! Your fur will be white as the snow, and permanently to boot!

But say you're a grizzled veteran bear, and Tutorial Terrace isn't your style. No problem! Come to my shop Hibernation Vacations on Polar Place, and I'll have a ToonTask you can help me with. And just because I like you, I'll even give you the choice between temporary (until December 30th) or permanent polar bear-ness!

Even if you're a non-bear, I still have a ToonTask for you. See, defeating those Cold Callers got me some Cold Caller Cog Summons courtesy of the Toon Resistance. Usually you would need a Lawbot suit to obtain these babies, but Toons of any walk of life can snag one from me!

Back up a second – did I say December 30th before? Usually, I'd reserve my polar bear takeover from now until the 26th. But I figured, hey, why keep it so short? The more the "merrier," after all. The Polar Bear extravaganza will continue from today all the way until December 30th!

It'll be fancy meeting you bears, polar and otherwise. Until next time, Toons, have a Merry Christmas!
