    In this Special Christmas Edition, The Adventures of Morey & Clyde (Santa's most loyal elves), take you on an exploration of their magical world in these first two episodes of their escapades. Santa's faithful assistants, Clyde, the perpetually cheerful joker, and Morey, the voracious learner, make sure that every Christmas Eve is full of fun and laughter. This story starts on a chilly Christmas Eve, when everyone in the North Pole is abuzz with excitement. While Santa loads up his sleigh, Morey and Clyde get ready for an amazing night. This year, Miss Claus' inquisitive hound dog puppy unexpectedly joins Santa on his sleigh, turning their usual routine upside down. They find themselves on an exciting voyage of exploration and discovery as they soar through the starry night, on a mission to deliver gifts all around the world. A mishap occurs when Morey is unexpectedly struck by a rogue gift, causing the sleigh to veer off course and land smack-dab in the middle of a bustling amusement park in the Live Entertainment Capital of the World (Branson, MO). Santa, the heart of the operation, is now lost, and with him goes precious time. The clock is ticking, and the fate of Christmas hangs in the balance. Morey and Clyde must navigate the chaos of the amusement park, find Santa, and somehow, miraculously, find a way to regain the lost time. The future of Christmas rests on their shoulders, and they must act fast to save the day. logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator webdesigner designer…
