This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Christmas Bear is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

I am happy to travel around, having been first released on Christmas Day, 2009, My goal is really to travel around and find somewhere nice for Melbermans, Caddy 07 and Daunts to meet up for Christmas each year. I am hoping to have Christmas regularly with them each year. My preferred location for catching up next Christmas will be advised as the year progresses, but if I arrive in somewhere interesting (within Australia) and not too far away or difficult for Christmas, then the families may be interested in going there for next season's festivities. 
(2013 update) Well, Christmas Bear had a relatively quiet year in 2013, so he has been quite happy to be turned loose again in our Christmas Crackers 2013 cache in Melbourne to travel for another year.
At this stage, we would be hoping that he will be returned to a cache around Ballarat for Christmas 2014, as we think that the families will be gathering for Christmas at Gordon, 20 km east of Ballarat.
