What a wonderful start to the Advent calendar. This story was not only entertaining, it was also educational. The pickle-hunt reminds me a little of the hunt for the afikomen during the Passover Seder. Now I am hoping that each day will reveal a holiday tradition in a different part of the world.

In the meantime, the transformation of Eeyore/Scrooge Lois into someone who at least somewhat appreciates this time of year is a minor miracle in and of itself. I guess it really was a job for Superman Clark.

Like Lois, I am eager to open up tomorrow's goody.

Thank you for this series.
