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! Passion 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! Passion 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 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. Passion 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 12/27: MMM I smell bar-b-que! Said Fred, lifting his head high in the air, and Passion wiped a little drool off his chin.

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!

Passion is questing!
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?

Episode 17/27: Fred notices that Willamina, the hairy little gnome down the block has come out to assist the kids with their clean up efforts. Honey gives a big Thank You, because sometimes giving means not only giving a tangible thing, but it also means giving your time or talent or just a helping hand. Willamina, happy to help, is content to see the kids' cart full and shuffles back off to her house. Jed is in wonderment, this new GIVING concept is actually pretty fun!
And the driver, realizing the pets were fine, drove off without letting the kids explain they were her gifts!

Passion is questing!
Episode 20/27: The kids are in awe of how quickly the help from the owls went, the cart is upright and ready to roll once again after being hit by the pickup. Honey, realized that sometimes GIVING also means receiving. Jed, scratching his head again (NO, no fleas!) in confusion, asked Honey to explain how two opposites could possibly mean the same thing.
Honey, a little tongue tied, tried to explain. OK, it's like this. See, we broke down. The gifts got tossed about and the owls helped us get the gifts and put them back. They were GIVING to us, of their time. And we got the gift. But it wasn't a gift like a box, but like a ghost. Wait, no, that's not what I mean. um, huh.
Quillen, sighed a little, and said, that maybe they should do something nice in return for the owls, and so the kids took little gifts back to the owls. A little brown owl looked wistfully at the gift and hoped it was a mouse!

Episode 25/27: Sitting down and enjoying their hot cocoa, the kids listen to the hooman. GIVING is so many things, it's truly hard to explain. For giving is an act that can be done with different attitudes, and we hope that we are showing you GIVING of the heart. We collected up the gifts that you gave back to us to help provide things for people who would do without otherwise. There are hoomans who don't have a home, or burrow or nest. Some choose to live with no shelter, but they are just a tiny number. So many are in need, of so many things. These are things they need, such as warm clothes, shelters they can put up, delicious foods to take along. And my friends and I are going out later to deliver them, would you like to come along?

However, it's almost time to part ways and head home to celebrate Christmas in their own tradition. GIVING will always be a part of daily life, but what makes it glow in your heart, decides Honey, is when you do it with no need for something in return, that doing it for love is the best feeling ever.

So with that, Passion returned home and changed to a new visitor!
