GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 1/29: Jingle wore her purple striped scarf, an early Christmas present knitted by her reindeer twin sister Garland, which Garland gave to Jingle when they were both selected by Santa to train to be his new sleigh pullers! Jingle looks a little pensive, because Garland is in a different sleigh pulling training team, and it's the first time the twins have ever been separated. Maybe Santa is cleverer than he looks, because separating the troublesome twosome might reduce the likelihood of the twins getting into any trouble during their pre-Christmas sleigh pulling training... Famous last thoughts Santa, eh?

Episode 2/29: And so it came to pass...night after night...that Jingle snuck surreptitiously out of the barn while all of the other little reindeer trainees in her team were sleeping, just to practice her sleigh pulling skills. Jingle had thought she was improving? But the sleigh felt especially heavy one night, and try as she might, she couldn't get it to budge, even an inch. She wondered if she was getting weak from lack of sleep, or if Santa had secretly swapped her little training sleigh for his much bigger and heavier sleigh...?

Episode 3/29: Jingle was nigh on ready to give up, after trying so hard to pull the sleigh, and barely able to move it an inch! But she took a deep breath, centred her little self, and tried one more time. Wheeeeeee! Jingle was airborne! At last! But somepet was cutting zzzzzzzz's in her empty sleigh??? Did her reindeer sister Garland snowaway, err stowaway, on board? With a glance over her shoulder, Jingle confirmed that it was not her sister, but GERTRUDE asleep in the sleigh. No biggie! They'd be back at the barn before GERTRUDE even woke up, as long as Jingle could remember how to land the sleigh... but... with mounting fear Jingle realised that the reindeer trainees' lesson on How to Land a Sleigh was actually scheduled for tomorrow... MARMEEEEE!!!!!!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 4/29: So, just to recap, we have a snowaway err stowaway on board. And the maelstrom created by the polar vortex emanating from the Northern Orb is no less than the crisis associated with being dragged along to the Black Friday Sales by your Mom! But Jingle remains calm. A sure indication that she is completely unaware of the danger she is in! Not so for GERTRUDE, who is experiencing some serious air turbulence in back! Will Jingle's waves of euphoria from realising that she really CAN fly wear off in time for her to make the necessary course correction? Or will Jingle and GERTRUDE become stars in the next episode of Pet Air Crash Investigation? Stay tuned to find out!

Episode 5/29: Jingle lands the reindeer training sleigh without too much difficulty, rather pleased with her efforts, considering her reindeer trainees' lesson on How to Land a Sleigh isn't actually scheduled until tomorrow...! But could it possibly be tomorrow already? Jingle didn't think she had been flying for very long, but somehow it is day time already? Jingle sends up a silent prayer for Santa to come traipsing over the hill and rescue her, before the scary fluffy birds attack. Jingle is quite oblivious to the angry looks GERTRUDE is sending in her direction, and she wouldn't have understood GERTRUDE's concerns even had she noticed that GERTRUDE was not a happy camper!
For GERTRUDE realised at once that the fluffy birds were penguins, and that penguins are native to the South Pole, which is at the opposite end of PnF Land to the North Pole, where GERTRUDE had hoped to have a quiet and uninterrupted nap in the empty sleigh! GERTRUDE has no illusions about being rescued, by Santa or by any other mythical being, as GERTRUDE checks themself all over for broken bones and bruised egos!

Episode 6/29: Jingle is surprised to meet two friendly cheerlings and a penguin bearing refreshments! And to her utter delight, Jingle notices that two of them are holding Santa mugs! But when Jingle asks the cheerlings and penguin if they know Santa, they sadly shake their heads, explaining that they found their mugs in an old abandoned research station where hoomans used to live.
A long conversation about Santa and what he does at Christmas time ensues, with Jingle proudly sharing her intimate knowledge of what the fat man does. GERTRUDE quickly looks away, covering their mouth to hide a yawn, and wonders how many gingerbread hoomans the cheerlings have stashed away somewhere!

Episode 7/29: The little reindeer Jingle's tales about Santa and about Christmas have gotten the cheerlings thinking... They wonder if it might be possible to bring Christmas to the South Pole? And they begin to imagine what preparations they could make? For Jingle is adamant that those who don't believe, won't receive!
The cheerlings have had plenty of time to explore the South Pole, especially the old abandoned research stations and weather stations, so the little white cheerling starts thinking about using the contents of some old boxes and crates they found stashed away in the back of a dusty old closet...

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 8/29: Although they are not old enough to have seen their first Christmas yet, Jingle and her reindeer twin sister Garland have often talked about and associated Santa with Christmas. So Jingle fervently hopes that Santa will find her and GERTRUDE at the South Pole, if they can make the South Pole look a lot like Christmas! In her limited experience, Jingle sees Christmas in terms of decorations, presents, a Christmas Tree and Santa, of course! The trick will be to make them all come together at the South Pole in time for Christmas?
But as Jingle was taught at Santa's reindeer school, just take one step at a time. So for this step, Jingle has convinced GERTRUDE and the little South Pole pets to come on a scavenger hunt with her, searching for Christmas decorations!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 9/29: When Jingle suggests a scavenger hunt to find Christmas decorations, the little penguin jumps up and down, flapping her flippers excitedly! She leads GERTRUDE, Jingle and the cheerlings to her favourite fishing hole, on the coast of the antarctic continent, and points excitedly to a cache of Christmas ornaments. The little pets are all quite bemused, not really believing for one instant that Christmas ornaments actually grow in the deep snow?
The little penguin laughs and explains that this is her favourite fishing hole, and while diving for fish, she sometimes finds these pretty things floating in the sea. And once she has eaten her fill, she will sometimes bring one back to shore with her... The little penguin thinks that the ornaments might have floated out of a shipwreck on the seabed, where her favourite fish like to play, but she isn't certain...?

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 10/29: The little pets begin gathering up the Christmas ornaments, oohing and aahing with delight! Jingle thinks they look wonderful decorating her antlers, and wishes her reindeer twin sister Garland could see how grand she looks now! The cheerlings even take a moment out for a quick game of catch with GERTRUDE, using the rounder ornaments as balls!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 11/29: Once the pets have finished their games, they gather up all of the Christmas ornaments and stack them neatly. Then admiring their handiwork, they wait patiently for Jingle to tell them what are going to do with them next?

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 12/29: Jingle is delighted when her new little friends take her to an abandoned research station to check out the dusty old boxes and crates filled with gift wrap and Christmas decorations! Hoping to lure Santa to the South Pole, by cleverly creating all of the commercial trappings of Christmas, Jingle teaches GERTRUDE and the little South Pole pets all about everypet's favourite Christmas past time - wrapping all of the gifts!
Oi! Wake up guys! We've hardly even begun wrapping!!!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 13/29: Jingle wakes the sleepy heads up, and she is most impressed when her little South Pole friends show a real aptitude for the fiddly work of wrapping, sticking down and tying ribbons. Maybe flippers and fingers do have a small advantage over hooves (but only on this particular occasion!)? Meanwhile, GERTRUDE thinks that seeing as Jingle has woken the South Pole pets up, it's alright for GERTRUDE to slacken off instead and fall asleep! Sheesh!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 14/29: As the gift wrapping extends late into the afternoon, Jingle and her little band of helpers sneak off to wrap each other's gifts in privacy, because they wouldn't want to spoil the surprise! And, finally finished wrapping, they collect up all of their gifts, wondering where GERTRUDE has gotten to? But the steady snow fall has blanketed the sleeping GERTRUDE, keeping them warm and cozy, albeit hidden, underneath...

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 15/29: With the wrapping all finished and the gifts neatly piled up, Jingle and her South Pole friends take a break, wondering how far away GERTRUDE wandered to wrap their gifts in privacy? Luckily there's a little bit of wrapping paper left for GERTRUDE to finish off wrapping gifts when GERTRUDE finally wakes up, but the sticky tape and ribbon all got used up, so GERTRUDE will just have to spit on the wrap to stick their gifts down!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 16/29: And so it came to pass that the next stage of Jingle's plan to bring Christmas to the South Pole required the very person she most wished to see right now, or a near likeness, at the very least! Santa Claws! So the little South Pole pets led Jingle and GERTRUDE back to the abandoned research station and proudly showed them the box of old santa parts... err pieces ...err stuffs!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 17/29: The little pets began to pull the Santa stuffs out of the box, while one of the cheerlings (who didn't know how to read yet) tried to help by reading out what they all assumed were the instructions? It is unclear at this point whether the instructions, which the cheerling was holding upside down anyway, or the size of the Santa stuffs was the bigger problem?
Whatever the reason, the little pets couldn't make head nor tail out of how to put the Santa stuffs together, and GERTRUDE was no help whatsoever, because GERTRUDE had wandered back into the old research station to look for more packets of those delicious gingerbread cookies that the cheerlings had been busy baking at the research station!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 18/29: Feeling rather dejected, Jingle and the little penguin started putting the Santa stuffs back into the box, while the cheerlings were busy playing a game of tug-of-war with one of Santa's hats. However the cheerlings' shouting and laughter drew the attention of the South Pole's lone and somewhat reclusive walrus, who had been brought to the South Pole many moons before by a group of eccentric researchers, hoping to train this walrus to pull their expedition sled for them!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 19/29: When the walrus came over to politely enquire if he might be of assistance, Jingle and the little South Pole pets were delighted! They handed the big old walrus the instructions, and he proceeded to put on all of the Santa stuffs, which were a perfect fit! After doing a Happy Dance in the snow, South Pole style, the pets rounded up GERTRUDE and headed back to their own camp!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 20/29: Jingle suspected that the very next stage of her plan to decorate the South Pole to look a lot like Christmas could be problematic... For Jingle's next step was to find a Christmas tree!. Somehow? Somewhere? But where to start looking?

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 21/29: If there were any trees at the South Pole, might they be hidden beneath the big frozen rocks and meteorites littering the antarctic valleys? Jingle, GERTRUDE and the South Pole pets were determined to leave no stone unturned finding out!!!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 22/29: Having searched under every frozen rock and meteorite, with nary a glimpse of a tree, GERTRUDE raced back to the abandoned research station to gather the snow shovels the scientists had left in a long forgotten storeroom there.
The cheerlings actually had quite a lot of experience shovelling snow, having lived their entire lives on the frozen continent, so they set to work shovelling with great enthusiasm! The cheerlings had almost dug their way down to China, when they encountered something buried deep in the snow... GERTRUDE quickly pulled off the hair ribbon that GERTRUDE had purloined during their gift wrapping adventure, and hitched Jingle up to the thing that was still partially buried in the deep snow...

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 23/29: And with the heart of a champion, Jingle pulled with all her might, until the most beautiful tree that any of the little pets had ever seen emerged. Which also happened to be the only tree that the little South Pole pets had ever seen! So it was a joyful bunch of pets that danced a Happy Dance around their beautiful Christmas tree, but none more joyful than Jingle!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 24/29: After dusting off and polishing all of the old ornaments the cheerlings and the little penguin had found near an abandoned research station, wrapping some little gifts for one another, finding a tree hidden beneath the snow, and choosing a pet to wear what remained of the old Santa costume, Jingle declared it was time to decorate their Christmas tree!
As GERTRUDE, Jingle and their new friends set about decorating their Christmas tree, Jingle softly sighed, wondering if her reindeer twin sister Garland had been selected to help Santa decorate the REALLY BIG Christmas tree at the North Pole this Christmas?

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 25/29: Jingle was determine to share all of the Christmas things her reindeer twin sister Garland would be experiencing at the North Pole with her new South Pole friends! So on the night before Christmas, in the perpetual sunshine of the antarctic summer, the friends gathered around to perform Carols by Sunlight. GERTRUDE and all of the little pets had almost sung themselves hoarse singing all of Jingle's favourite carols, leaving Jingle's very favourite carol until last of all, because they had a special surprise planned for Jingle!
Instead of just singing Away in a Manger, they planned to act it out for her! So they led Jingle around to the back of the abandoned research station, to the old stable where the scientists used to house their sled dogs. As GERTRUDE and the pets sang the opening bars, the youngest cheerling climbed up into the old feed trough, and laid down his sweet head. Now technically, the youngest cheerling was supposed to stay awake and help with the singing, but Jingle was none the wiser, thinking he was doing a wonderful job of pretending to be asleep!
And one-by-one, GERTRUDE and the South Pole pets nodded off, with nary a one still awake at song's end...

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 26/29: While telling her friends all about Christmas, Jingle left out, accidentally on purpose, one key point... That Santa won't come until ALL of the little pets have fallen asleep!
So it came to pass, on the night before Christmas, GERTRUDE, Jingle and all of the little South Pole pets (except one sleepy little cheerling) were wide eyed and bushy tailed with excitement, late into the sunny South Pole Summer night!
GERTRUDE wanted to practice every single one of the Christmas carols Jingle had taught her new friends, so they enthusiastically filled the air with a cacophony of discordant sound! Until, a helpful little kaleidoscope of antarctic butterflies joined them, fluttering the beat of each carol, until the pets' voices all finally began to meld together in perfect harmony!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 27/29: And so it came to pass, that Jingle enjoyed the longest, most exhausting and truly wonderful night before Christmas in Jingle's young life, (which also happened to be Jingle's only night before Christmas, to date)! But in spite of Jingle's best efforts to stay awake ALL night, her eyelids eventually fluttered shut, for what felt like only seconds, before her sleep clouded mind registered a very loud and very jovial greeting:
Ho Ho Ho, and a Merry Christmas one and all!
Jingle snapped awake, shaking her head to clear it, and noticed that her little friends were all jumping with glee! And no wonder! For Santa had arrived, and was having a quiet chat with GERTRUDE, who was dumb struck that Santa had travelled all the way to the South Pole to find them! But Santa just laughed at GERTRUDE's surprise, and asked GERTRUDE who GERTRUDE thought it was that delivered Christmas presents to all of the little koalas in Australia every Christmas?

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 28/29: While the little reindeer and the cheerlings were sound asleep, Santa had created a special Christmas present for the cheerlings! A cozy fishing shack, where the cheerlings could store all of their Christmas decorations and make gifts for all of their South Pole friends for many Christmases to come!

GERTRUDE looked on in awe, secretly wishing they had a cozy fishing shack of their very own, to use in their PnF Art!

And so it came to pass that wise old Santa already knew that GERTRUDE had been a good little pet all year long, and Santa had had a busy night creating not just one, but two cozy fishing shacks, so Santa was able to grant GERTRUDE's secret Christmas wish on the spot, by gifting GERTRUDE a cozy fishing shack of their very own!

GERTRUDE is questing!
Episode 29/29: Having distributed his sack of gifts, bid farewell to GERTRUDE, and left the Cheerlings to settle into their new home, Santa hitched up his team of reindeer, and took to the skies... closely followed by his errant little Jingle, pulling the newly repaired practice sleigh that Santa needed for training the younger reindeer.
As the visitors pulled away from the South Pole, and its perpetual Summer sunlight, night began to fall, filling the sky with stars, and revealing the Northern Twilight Orb in all its splendour, to guide Santa home...
And as Santa disappeared into the sky, GERTRUDE heard the faint echo of Santa's voice bouncing off the ice:

Ho Ho Ho, and Merry Christmas one and all! And GERTRUDE, don't forget to race on home to swap places with another pet, as I'm sure that another one of my young reindeer will need help too!
