Unfortunate Event

It's not clear how this fire stared. It could be possible that Count Olaf had something to do with it.Perhaps there was some sort of collusion with the Grinch, some kind of conspiracy to bring down the Economy by disrupting the Holiday Frenzy.
This may look like just any old ordinary plant. But don't be misled here. If you look closely, you will notice the remains of Commercial Christmas.
As you enter your local Mall this year, take a moment to appreciate all those little Reindeers, Elves and other wonderful things there to help you get into the "Holiday Mood" and spend your money. Remember, it is your patriotic duty to support the economy. But enough of this Scrooge-talk.
If you ever stopped to wonder just where all those wonderful things came from, it was here, the emphasis is on "was". This place supplied a lot of those things, and they did a pretty good job. This happened near the end of the "Christmas Rush", so all was not lost, at least not quite. Maybe you thought it was Elves that made this stuff. You would be wrong. It was real human people, even some of The Fuzz's kinfolks. Now they are scrambling, in borowed space, to get the last of it out.
We don't know how all this will turn out. Could this be the end of Christmas as we know it ? Would that be a bad thing ?
The fire was pretty bad. All the plastic, paint and stuff caused an inferno. There was nothing the Firemen could do but watch it burn, and try to keep it from spreading. There was a huge, black cloud drifting across the sky. The area around the plant was evacuated. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt as far as we know.
This Bear somehow survived all this.
The Fuzz and his Sweetie stopped by the other day to check it out. There was still a chemical smell in the air.
But don't worry, the Chinese are still making lots of great Christmas Stuff.
