Geocache Description:



Happy is the baby new year who is destined to become 19-Wonderful as the old year passes. He appears in the special Rudolph's Shiny New Year. Born with abnormally large ears, his appearance causes great laughter from anyone present when he removes his top hat from his head. Living in Father Time's castle, the palace residents and even his nursemaid, Nanny Nine O'Clock, are not immune from partaking in this act which crushes his feelings to the point where he just can't live with it anymore. He decides to run away to the Archipelago of Last Years.

Through the various years preserved in the islands of the archipelago, Happy never finds a group of friends who can tolerate his ears, and he finds himself constantly on the run. Eventually, Rudolph, who has been sent to track him down, catches up with him and helps him overcome his sensitivity issue. With some help from Santa Claus, he makes it back across the Sands of Time just before the last stroke of midnight on December 31st so that he can become the new year.


The winter series theme this year involves characters from the classic Rankin/Bass Stop-Motion animation TV Specials that first aired in the 60's, 70's, and early 80's.


Just a quick walk along the fence.

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.
