Years ago one of the names I had for my youngest daughter was Tootermoose. Over the years I've given her little mementos recalling my affectionate name for her. I don't know if she keeps them, if she does they are starting to amount to a moosey menagerie. Well, some years ago Tootermoose sent me a gift, a Christmas ceramic moose chef with a plate of cookies. It comes apart and you put an incense in a compartment. Once lit the incense emits smoke out a chimney that is part of the cookie tray. As a result you get the incense smell and it appears as if the plate of cookies is steaming hot. It is a pure Christmas memory.
I shot a video of the moose on its inaugural appearance for Christmas 2008. Every year for the years since Tootermoose gave us the chef it starts our Christmas season. It is the first decoration out of the box, and is lit right away to signal to us that the holiday season is at hand. It is good.
Enjoy the brief video.

Awww!! That's so sweet! We have the majority of moose menagerie, though the moose candy dispenser that "poops" candy was just too good to stay at home, it's in my office for everyone's enjoyment there.
When the moose bakes cookies its Christmas time at our house.
