Take a cosy seat and settle in for a Christmas tale about a lost purse and the true meaning of team-work. Once upon a festive time at the RDC Team's workshop, the elves were bustling with Christmas cheer. But amidst the jingling bells and wrapping paper, Elf Ruth had a problem—she'd lost her purse! She looked high and low, at home and at work, but it was nowhere to be found. Elf Emily, ever the helpful one, joined Ruth in the search. They combed through Ruth's car, but still no luck. Emily, being the generous elf she was, lent Ruth some money so she could still buy presents. But the mystery of the missing purse lingered. Elf Taryn, always ready for an adventure, offered to check the restaurant where the RDC elves had their Christmas meal during her lunch break. Elf Emma, not to be outdone, said she'd swing by on her way home. But it was Elf Marjorie, the early bird, who went as soon as the restaurant opened. And lo and behold, she found the purse! The news traveled fast. Elf Emma, in a meeting with Ruth, couldn't contain her excitement and shared the happy discovery. Now, the only task left was to get the purse back to Ruth. Enter Elf Tom, the speedy driver of the group. He picked up the purse from Elf Marjorie and delivered it to Ruth on his way home. And so, the RDC Team elves proved that while many teams talk about good teamwork, their Christmas tale showed what a great team is really about! The RDC cast for this story: Ruth Winden, Emily Goodall, Taryn Bell, Marjorie Boissinot, Tom Flint
