First of all, they had to choose what design they wanted her to draw on the card as the background. They could choose from Santa's head, a snowman or Santa's hat. This was too much choice for all the other bears as they couldn't all decide on the same one.
"I think Santa's head would be nice," said Charlie.
"But I like snowmen," said Henry.
"And Santa's hat might be easier to draw," suggested Teddy.
So Lizzie said that she would draw Santa's head, and then everyone could make more Advent Calendars using different designs as their backgrounds. So the other bears settled down to watch how to make Lizzie's Advent Calendar.
First of all, she outlined Santa's head, wearing his usual hat, with a black marker. She was very good at drawing so it didn't take her very long. Then she coloured in his hat in bright red, and made his face all pink and rosy, as if he had just come down the chimney! She left the fur on his hat, its bobble, and his moustache and his very long beard, white.
