Meanwhile, he went upstairs to their Christmas Cupboard (this is where they kept everything to do with Christmas). He found some orange peel and some small, whole clementines which they had dried many years ago. Then he searched and searched for a really important ingredient, muttering to himself all the while "I know there's some in here somewhere," as he rummaged deep into the back of the cupboard.
"A-ha!" he exclaimed at last, "I've found it! Just what I was looking for!" and in his paw he held a small jar of something labelled 'Orris Root.' There was also some dried lavender in the cupboard and he took a few sprigs of that. He found some pine cones too, and brought everything down.
"That's an awful lot of things to put in our jar," Charlie pointed out when everything was piled up on the table. "Can I help?" he asked.
"Of course you can," replied Bubbles and Lizzie together. "There's a lot to do. First of all, we need to add all the ingredients into the jar in layers, starting with the dried flowers and herbs. You can be in charge of that, Charlie," said Bubbles.
