IMPORTANT NOTE: I have found that a lot of yule item drops don't occur until a day or two after the quests begin. If you are having trouble getting an item the first 3 or 4 times you harvest, wait a day and then try again. (I had this happen with foundation stones, cowbells, and sugar cookies)

Place him in an area where there is a field inside his blue circle... my suggestion is to move him around where needed or keep him in a spot surrounded by 4-5 feilds that we need all the time (like oats and wool). When he has an exclamation point above his head, click on him to activate his power. He will use his special power by giving extra items when a field is harvested in his blue circle. But be smart about your placement because you can only use him once every 6 hrs.
