I really like games where you teleport from place to place as it avoids having too big a map - it also provides new interest every time you move!
A few issues with objects:
GET TRASH CAN in Santa's office - 'What trash?'
GET CAMP FLYER - 'What flyer?'
In order to do most things with the handful of leaves, you have to (VERB) LEAF - HANDFUL and LEAVES don't work.
X AD just results in 'You see nothing special.'
If you drop the letter, the mud or the D battery at the Maple garage (and possibly in other places), you can't pick them up again.
I also spotted quite a few typos - I can post them in the community forum or send you a list if you like.
Nice original story though and I was really rooting for Bigfoot!
