Bear was chatting to one of his best friends this week, who was telling him that she felt really down.

He has been quite worried about her as she is usually quite an upbeat little soul.

Even her sister who is her best friend has been really quiet recently.

We were chatting about this in the office during a mammoth filing session. He came to the conclusion that in our part of the world, with this time of year being cold and a bit dreary, it is no wonder that people can sometimes get fed up and miserable.

I could see Bear’s brain getting to grips with this situation and sure enough after a while of ‘pondering’ on this problem, he came up with a plan!

He decided that it might be a good idea to get a few friends together for a bit of a party. After all it has been nearly a month since the Christmas festivities!

So, he has decided that we will have a ‘January Blues’ Get-Together’!

But his ‘January Blues’ will be to bring anything Blue that is cheerful and happy!

Within a few hours he had rallied a group of Blue bear friends, including his friend Nancy and her sister Mandy to organise a ‘January Blues’ mini-party to say goodbye to January and see in February with a smile  ?

He will be inviting all his friends who are ‘blue’ bears and those who aren’t will have to bring/wear something blue that will make everyone smile.

Bear does like a good get-together, but more than that he does like to make sure that all his friends are happy and smiling.

I have been informed that there will be games and fun to be had by all!

We hope that the ‘January Blues’ have not caught you or your family and friends. But if they have, Bear says to remember…

“If you see someone without a smile,

Give them one of yours!”

Have a great week and let me and Bear know if

you and your bears have any unusual adventures! ?
