Hello,
I bought my friend's daughter a little singing dancing hamster that
was dressed as a reindeer, and sang jingle bells from a Target store
in Colorado Springs a year ago, and well... she loved it to death.  It
stoped dancing.  I have since been trying to find another one, but
have come up short.  I know that Gemmy makes dancing hamsters, but I
don't see this one on their list of characters... perhaps it was a
rip-off brand... in any case, if someone could find one of these it
would be just great.

Hi mrtrivia,

After an extensive search, I found it one on Ebay.com but
unfortunately it's been sold.

This is a Reindeer Dancing Hamster by Gemmy that dances to the tune of
"Jingle Bells". It is not in the box.

Winning bid:  US $8.00 

=================================================

The others I found were not dressed as reindeer and no mention of Jingle Bells.
