Episode 9/27: Spike and the team are feeling energetic as they stop for morning tea on the side of the road near a large tree. It’s quite cold out, but they are almost feeling warm in the knowledge that they are playing their part in the spirit of Christmas. They notice that there are a few small gifts scattered in and around the tree. Heading over to collect them, to place in the cart, they can hear sounds of distress under the tree. Oh no! It looks as though a baby bird has fallen from its nest and is crying!

Episode 10/27: Gnome says, "you don’t need to speak bird language to understand the baby bird and it’s parents are distressed," so he and the team go to see if there is anything they can do to help. “Don’t cry little birdy,” says Badger. “I’ll help you back to your nest”. Mother and Father bird can only look on and hope their baby is safe. It’s not a well known fact that a Badger can climb quite well, so everyone is surprised. While Badger picks up the baby bird, the team remark to each other how pleased they are to have stopped!

Episode 11/27: As Badger placed the baby bird in it’s nest, the team noticed the love that it’s parents were displaying. The baby bird was quite shaken by its fall and was still a little teary, so they decided the perfect way to sooth the upset feathered baby, was to place a small parcel in the nest. That did it! Now everyone was happy and love signs seemed to appear everywhere (but mostly above the head of the mother bird). There is nothing like a mother’s love! A lesson was learned today, and that was that one way to show love is to show you care. Thoughts of the cold, thoughts of stopping to rest, all disappeared and everyone moved on with renewed vigour.

Episode 12/27: Evening was approaching and the owl family were warming up their hoots. The team and Spike were almost ready to call it a night when Porcupine noticed a mother Kangaroo trying to console her crying Joey. “What’s wrong little buddy?” questioned Porcupine. “I tried to hop and I stubbed my toe,” replied the Joey. Meanwhile mother Kangaroo talked soothingly to Joey. “It’s ok my little one.” Despite her soothing tone, little Joey seemed inconsolable...

Episode 13/27: Initially Gnome decided to do a jig, but that didn’t help. Joey just cried even more. Badger drew the team to one side and made a suggestion to which they all agreed. Gnome selected several gifts from the cart that were perfect for Kangas. Baby Joey was excited, the tears disappeared and suddenly his stubbed toe was forgotten. “I got my very own gift,” he bounded around repeating over and over. Mother Kangaroo was also given a parcel, adorned with some yummy fresh holly, which she knew was going to be a tasty breakfast in the morning!

Episode 14/27: As the Joey bounded around happily with his Christmas parcel in his paws, a look of sheer love and pride overcame Mother Kangaroo. This is the best feeling in the world she thought and magically a love ornament appeared above Joey's head. The team felt rather special at witnessing the transformation of little baby Joey and they too could feel the love. Now when Gnome did his jig, everyone joined in and had a merry time. Even the owls got involved and hooted the music that was needed.

Episode 15/27: Over hills and over dales, the team were having a ball as they headed into the country. The cart they were pulling certainly helped a huge amount. It’s a wonder there were any gifts left in the truck at all. Just when they were ready to move on, Spike found yet another parcel to add to the haul. Spike had such a good eye, because not only did he locate parcels but he also spotted a love ornament in the snow!

Episode 16/27: As Ruby Ragdoll puttered along in the truck, Gnome organised the team to place all the found parcels into the cart. They still couldn’t believe their luck in finding this robust easy to pull cart! Since it was becoming a tight squeeze within however, it was necessary for Porcupine to climb in and rearrange a few of the gifts. It was quite a revelation and a nice feeling to realise that the team didn’t think what they were doing was work. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves and no one was in a rush to get home!

Episode 17/27: It seems the more they do, the more the team are experiencing feelings of love. This is not just for each other, but for all the pets and hoomans they are coming into contact with. As Gnome, Badger, Porcupine and Dog line up in front of the cart, before them appears a Love Ornament. This really is a testament to their caring attitude they have been showing along the way and each of them is happy they have this ornament to remind them that caring demonstrates love. Spike was so happy to form a bond with this wonderful team.

Episode 18/27: "What a wondrous sight to be seen," declared Spike. Outside the lodge covered with snow, with parcels scattered around its grounds, there were bunches of colourful balloons floating in the sky. Attached to the balloons were cards and on each of these cards was a Love ornament. As the helium lifted the balloons further into the sky, the team is amazed at how far the love can now be spread. While the balloons drifted off in the breeze, the team went back to the task of collecting dropped parcels, and while doing so they sang, “Love is in the air, everywhere I look around!”

Episode 19/27: Somehow, Ruby Ragdoll must have had quite a bumpy drive. Whether it was the snow piles or if it was actually so deep it was covering rocks, the surface was so uneven, that parcels went flying in every direction. On closer inspection of the dropped parcels, our team are thrilled to notice that every gift also came with a Love ornament. They continued their song. “Love is in the air and even on the ground”.

Episode 20/27: The tune the team was singing as they collected parcels was rather catchy. Suddenly they realised their audience had joined in. Very pretty red birds, with what looked like little black bow ties, had gathered near a large tree. It was a beautiful sound, with music notes flying here, there and everywhere, filling the air with love, just like the ornaments that were attached to the parcels they were collecting. Some of the birds even had them in their tiny beaks, as they twittered along with the music.

Episode 21/27: After an exhaustive search and many adventures, the team head into the garden of a hooman sized house. The house is magnificent, rising two stories high and bright light is shining from each of the windows. Christmas lights adorn the building and twinkle like a starry night. Since there is a truck filled with parcels out the front, they know they have arrived at their destination.

Episode 22/27: Heading down the path, Spike and the team knock on the door of the house and they are greeted by the driver of the truck, Ruby Ragdoll. Without hesitation, Ruby Ragdoll invites everyone inside. She wants to thank them all for the return of the parcels. Spike explains that they handed a number of parcels out along the way, but that revelation is greeted with a smile. Everyone is feeling very pleased with their mission!

Episode 23/27: Before entering, Ruby Ragdoll inspects the cart and sees all the parcels that had dropped along the way. What a wonderful team we have here! They have obviously worked tirelessly collecting all these gifts. Furthermore, it can’t have been easy pulling that rather large cart along. Imagine how the wheels would have sunk into the soft snow.

Episode 24/27: Ruby Ragdoll explains they were taking parcels to homeless persons to show that caring actually demonstrates love. Homeless people often feel unloved and unwanted. By delivering gifts to them, they will feel less alone, a lot more cared for and hopefully a feeling of love will envelop them and if only for a short time, it will give them hope.

Episode 25/27: How privileged everyone felt within the walls of this beautiful house. Ruby Ragdoll invited the team to stay for supper and provided an abundance of tasty food. "Gosh," said Spike, "we weren’t expecting this, but thank you very much!" As they sat eating, they could feel the love inside this house. In fact, in the corner was a Christmas tree made from Gifts and adorned with Love ornaments.

Episode 26/27: Following the feast, tea and coffee was provided by their host and the team decided despite the rewards, they would be willing to do this every Christmas. Ruby Ragdoll explained to them that the word Love in the ornaments they had been finding, related to the love hoomans feel at Christmas. Wouldn’t it be nice if it lasted all year round!

Episode 27/27: Ruby Ragdoll has one more surprise for Spike and the team, providing them with a larger home so they can all enjoy Christmas together!
