A Beary Merry Christmas: Decembear 9

Intro is here. 

 

I'm interested in the nonspecific pronoun.  "The" bedroom closet?  Just who is the usual occupant of this bedroom?  Does the bear family just rotate through the rooms, collapsing when they are tired?  Also, if they are bears, shouldn't they be hibernating?  I would think bears would be more into Easter than Christmas.

Intro is here.

 

Maybe "He" Bear's family routinely hides things behind grandfather clocks?  And maybe "He" Bear is envisioning Christmas as small? Because Grandfather clocks are heavy and usually sit flush with the wall.  So I'm guessing what's behind the clock is a few dust bunnies and maybe a hole for the mouse that is climbing up the clock. 

Also, I'm enjoying "He" bear's levitating.  Cool powers, man.  If only you also had ESP.  Then you would look in the living room and we could be done with this farce.

A Beary Merry Christmas: Decembear 7

Intro is here.

Whew!  After seven days of wandering outside with only a bow to keep him warm, "He" bear finally makes it inside.

 You can't see this from just this picture, but this is where the architecture of this Beary Merry World starts to fall apart.  "He" bear walks in the door and is immediately transported to the second floor. These stairs are going to take him to the third floor (because apparently he can't see Christmas in room right next to this staircase).  But there are things on the first floor too.  How does one get there?

And here is where I lose all respect for "He" bear.

He has been looking on the front porch for an entire day and never thinks to look under the mat?  Also, there is no doormat pictured. You don't even get to move the damn bear much, just shuffle him to the other side of the porch.

 

I do find myself rather entranced with the gingerbread detail on the front porch.  Nicely done, unknown artist.

A Beary Merry Christmas: Decembear 5

Intro is here.

Much like my shoddy 12-year-old construction technique, some of these pictures are blurry.  Much like my lazy pre-adolescent self, I didn't go back and take better photos.

So the "He" bear has made it all the way to the door!  Hooray.  Because Christmas is probably right up the stairs and to the left.  Maybe even in the living room, the room where most people who celebrate Christmas put their tree.  

Also, I'm now noticing the impressive glue gun contrails hanging off the wreath at the door.  I guess my technique did not improve.

A Beary Merry Christmas: Decembear 4

Intro is here.

Because that's a place to look?  Next to the snowman?

I'm kind of interested in the design of this calendar.  Can you see the production meeting?  

Person in charge: Okay, we need a bear, a house, and 24 places the bear could look.

Bespecked male artist:  What's he looking for?

Angry feminist artist:  Why do you assume it's a he?

Peace-making and weary artist: Because a female bear would not look 24 different places, she'd ask someone.

Angry feminist:  Yeah!

Bespecked male artist, also wearily: Yeah.

Peace-making-get-it-done artist: So what is the bear looking for?

Person in charge: Christmas.

All artists: Christmas?

Person in charge:  Christmas

Angry feminist: Christmas is not something you look for.

Bespecked male artist, happy to find unity with the angry feminist:  Yeah!  Its' a day on the calendar.  Is the bear looking on the calendar?

Person in charge:  No, no!  It IS a calendar.

All: Christmas?

Person in charge:  No, the bear on the advent calendar is looking for Christmas.  Where would he look?

Bespecked male artist, somewhat sarcastically:  By the snowman?

Person in charge:  YES!  What else?

A Beary Merry Christmas: Decembear 3

Intro is here. 

Christmas in the mailbox?  I mean I guess.  It makes more sense than the skating pond.  At least there are sometimes cards and gifts and things that come via mail.

But I need to ask "He" bear something. What are you thinking this "Christmas" thing is?  Maybe that's the problem?  You don't know what Christmas is, so you don't know what you are looking for?  Also, why not just ask?  There are two bears on the skating pond, not to mention a mouse.  Can you just ask them where Christmas is?
