Sandy, gathering up more fallen gifts, mentioned with a twinkle in his eye, Why don't you open one of these gifts, maybe it'll be what you need?

And with a slowblink, she replied. Believing is a little bit of knowing something is real, hoping something is real, and finding something is real. Bo raised his hand, confused that he was in school? And asked if Santa Claus, the hooman who delivered gifts to children around the world in the blink of an eye was real?
The shop owner nodded slowly and said, cryptically, What does your heart say? And with that, the group shuffled off contemplating.

Episode 25/27: Let me reward you, says Brad, with a little holiday spending money for your act of kindness! You all took so much of your day to help me get my gifts back, and I really appreciate it!

Brad said cryptically that he wasn't surprised, as this is the season for miracles.

Episode 26/27: So, Brad, what do you think BELIEVE means? asked Jethro, waiting for his reply. The friends are also listening keenly to hear.
Brad cleared his throat and began: My learning in reading the Bible, explains to me that BELIEVE can also be described as FAITH. Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. And I think today, you all have seen how that works. From all your stories, you can take what you have learned and apply it to your life. Just remember, that no matter how lost you may feel, or hard things are at the moment, that you are loved. And now, my friends, I need to get these gifts delivered to the hospital, where hoomans who are sick for Christmas will not be able to be home with their family in the traditional way. May you all have a very Merry Christmas, and prosperous New Year!

Sandy, sparked to share to the world his new found outlook on the word BELIEVE, asked Rainbow if he would keep his house for him. Excited, Rainbow shouts YES!
