We end the week with Lizzie offering up a little kid solution to Elly's whining about the expense of the season.

(Strip Number 991, Original Publication Date, 14 December 1985)

Panel 1: We find Elly whining about how she can't believe that she's already spent so much this Christmas.

Panel 2: She tells John that she's trying to stay in budget but everything is so expensive.

Panel 3: Elizabeth says they should just ask Santa for all of the presents.

Panel 4: As John laughs behind his sleeve, Elly rolls her eyes in exasperation when Lizzie says that way, it won't cost them anything.

Summary: Given who Elly is, she'd rather believe that Lizzie made an absurd comment to torment her instead of a childish comment because she's five.
