He soon grew to love the doll, but misplaced it so he was devastated but also afraid he wouldn't be trusted to look after Manny. Since he didn't write a wish list, Susan got him a doll named Alfrendo while Susan was pregnant. Greg decides to create his Christmas wish list as to not repeat what happened a few years ago. Greg points out that adults these days are getting too obsessed with safety with all kids especially since the kids wear bicycle helmets to Manny's peewee soccer game. ![]() The reason they lost all of the equipment was because people got hurt, the same goes for most games like Freeze Tag (someone was hurt after getting shoved from behind) and that banned running or touching, even after making up Air-Tag it is not the same. First they lost the swings and seesaw, next they lost the monkey bars and finally they lost the balance beam. Greg can't help but notice how the adults at his school had trouble paying for insurance for the playground equipment after noting that the school took away all of it. This makes Greg remember how he and Rowley were chased with a stick by Nasty Pants, but only to find out he's just five to Frank's disappointment. Greg then recalls how before Thanksgiving Break, his school had a contest to create posters in order to get rid of bullying. The next day, while putting up the Christmas tree, Manny throws a huge tantrum when he finds out that they were decorating without him, the reason why he was upset was because someone hung his favorite ornament so Susan gave the ornament to Manny but he wanted it first on the tree and that's what happens in his house every single year. Whenever Greg wakes up Santa's Scout is in a new place which he thinks is supposed to mean he traveled to the North Pole but he's starting to think it's just Rodrick moving him. To Greg, the toy doesn't let him repeat any of his usual antics to find out what his presents are and makes him be extra good when he's in the room with Santa's Scout so it doesn't report anything bad to Santa back at the North Pole but it probably doesn't matter anyway because Rodrick is constantly feeding bad information about him. Then he also complains about a toy Susan brought out, Santa's Scout. He complains that kids who's families who don't celebrate Christmas don't have to stress out and that he has a few friends like Chirag Gupta who act bit extra jerky just because they can and the fact that Santa knows when your sleeping, knows when your awake really creeps him out. Worrying about the holidays, Greg writes in his journal that he has to change his behavior to not get bad presents for Christmas. Greg knows that when the snow melts he's going to have to face the music, but could any punishment be worse than being stuck inside with your family for the holidays? The authorities are closing in, but when a surprise blizzard hits, the Heffley family is trapped indoors. School property has been damaged, and Greg is the prime suspect. ![]()
