Episode 3/27: Scampering quickly, Honey, the little badger, grabbed up fallen gifts, while Alaska watched on the curb, making sure there were no other vehicles in sight. Always remember to look both ways! Some of the other friends quickly scooped up gifts as well.

Episode 4/27: Alaska yelled after the driver, however, they were blissfully unaware that they had lost their gifts. A little excited at the fortune of gifts laid out on the road before them, the friends decided that collecting them up would be better than opening them. But the temptation!

Episode 5/27: Honey and her little friend Quillen, the porcupine, were dismayed to see that even though they collected gifts out of the road as quick as they could, one was open and damaged. Tugging gently at the ornament, the kids realized it was actually the word “GIVING”.

Episode 6/27: Alaska and the friends spied the quaint garden house of the neighborhood gnome close by, and careful to stay off the grass (they had been scolded before about that!), walked up to see if they could help figure out how to return the gifts.

Episode 7/27: After a sharp rap on the door, the gnome, Fred, answered it and came out to see what Honey and Quillen were talking about with all the gifts. After a sparkle of magic, there appeared word ornaments all over the outside the home. GIVING! Alaska and the friends were slightly awed by the magical signs appearing, and whispered among themselves about how it happened. Honey, being a brave badger, asked Fred about the chance of him knowing who might have had the truck of gifts. Fred, scratching his head, mentioned that he didn’t but by golly, there goes the pick up in question!

Episode 8/27: The friends, with Fred in tow, walk out the garden gate to find the neighborhood busybody, Jed. Jed always seems to be wearing his ugly Christmas sweater, and the kids giggle at it, wishing that maybe they can have one too! Alaska asked Jed if he knows anything about the gifts and where they needed to go? Jed, scratching his head (NO, he doesn’t have fleas!) replied that he doesn’t know either but hoomans might. How to find one of those flea-shy, elusive hoomans?

Episode 9/27: Fred grabs up a couple carts in his gnome garden, and they load up the gifts to make it easier to tote around until they find the hooman and return these. Alaska still intrigued with the word GIVING, Honey and the kids are going to solve this mystery!

Episode 10/27: Jed and Quillen realize that there are empty spots at the houses all over the little hamlet and Honey mentioned that last week when she was in Sunday School, the teacher was talking about how some pets are lonely and don’t have family to spend the holidays with. Alaska popped a twinkling eye and mentioned that maybe, just maybe, if they left gifts on the stoops of the houses, they might be helping somepet not be lonely. Quillen, smiling broadly, asked Honey if that was what her Sunday School teacher meant? Honey replied, sure was! Fred asked if maybe that was part of what GIVING means? And being the “adult” of the group, didn’t think it would be too terrible if not all the lost gifts made it back to where they came from, right?

Episode 11/27: The friends were so engrossed in giving away gifts to the houses in the hamlet and singing carols with the town square bear, who touts herself to be a wandering minstrel, that they didn’t even notice that the pick up they were searching out just drove by!

Episode 12/27: MMM I smell bar-b-que! Said Fred, lifting his head high in the air, and Alaska wiped a little drool off his chin. Honey and Quillen both wander over to the picnic in the park, opting for the vegan treats. Jed, towing the cart of presents along, figures it’s snack time! Sustenance always helps when doing hard work.

Episode 13/27: Asking the picnickers politely if they could join in the repast, the little group of friends dig in. Excited to try some new dishes as well, the group realizes that their new friends are also in possession of the GIVING ornament. Wowzers! Jed gives a little yip of excitement, and asks his new friends if they know exactly what the ornament is for. The little black salamander, licking his lips, explains it’s something they just did. Honey, confused, wonders out loud and asked for more explanation. It’s simple, said Sully, you were in need and we had what you need, so we gave it to you. A little glimmer of understanding clicked in Quillen’s thoughts, and she thinks maybe, just maybe she gets this!

Episode 14/27: Collecting up their cart of gifts, the kids wave goodbye to their new friends, and decide to leave a few gifts there as well, hoping that the boxes are full of something delightful. Oblivious because of food coma, the little group missed the pickup right there parked by the cart, yet again.

Episode 15/27: OH THE HORROR!
In a bizarre twist of fate, the friends are shocked to see the pickup smack right into the cart of gifts they were trying to return. The driver, still blissfully unaware they are HER gifts she lost and now ran over, comes to a screeching halt.

Episode 16/27: Poor Quillen! Fred rushed over to help her up. Quillen, none worse for the wear despite the harrowing encounter, dusts herself off and starts gathering up the gifts and putting them back in the cart. Jed wonders if she's a little dizzy, because it didn't make much sense to put them in the cart rather than the truck, but goes along with it. Why not?
