This mouse is determined to ring in the New Year with a bang. After attending all of the parties it could find, it has emerged with someone else's oversized shirt, a tie that should be outlawed, and sixty pounds of fireworks which have been outlawed in most cities. The New Year's mouse intends to put on a light show so amazing that it lights up the sky for the rest of the year-- the only problem is that it hasn't really thought about how it's going to get off the ground.
Mouse ID#: 141


Preferred Cheese

The New Year's Mouse has no specific preference for any specific kind of cheese.
