It was before Park opening and before Cast Members arrived. Ice Gator was wandering the park.
He checked the date on the board - December 8th. A night had passed, which made today December 9th.
Christmas was quickly sneaking up on him.
He had to browse the store for something for his niece.
Not that she was picky, but he wanted to get her something better than a Mickey Mouse beach towel.
Maybe the best Christmas he could give her was just being with her. Spending time with her. Going skiing with her.
She'd remember that more than a present anyway.
I do have a Mickey Mouse beach towel, but I picked it up years ago (I think about 16 of them).
