How it begins

'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, the only creature stirring was a hippo the size of a mouse.

This year you're going to stay awake long enough to see Santa Claws. You have set up a temporary nest in the living room closet, and it just needs a few final touches. You intend to venture out to have a snack and look at the tree one more time, and then you will go hide in the closet and wait.
