In fact, I should be hearing back any minute!Frankly, I think I'm a shoo-in! The last thing we all need is another stolen tree or angered blizzard wizard. I'm sure he'll find a way to cause just as much trouble either way, though...Whew. It's not nearly as easy as you think to apply for the official Christmas decorator.

I just got a letter from the Toon Council! Let's see...But... But... Did he even submit an application? My essay was 14 pages long! I hate to disturb Flippy while he's out searching, but who on earth approved this? Wait -- what's that noise? I hear something outside...Oh no.
