== Story ==
It's Christmastime in Bear Country. Small Bear sees that he got a sled, some ice skates, and a pair skis as a Christmas gift.
Small Bear decides to try the sled first. Papa shows him that a tall, tall mountain is the best place to go sledding. At the top, Papa shows his son how to do a belly flop, only to fall flat in the snow.
Now, Papa has to teach his son how to skate. He takes him to a pond, where he tries on Small Bear's skates (even though they're too small for him) and skates a figure eight, but since the ice is too thin for him, he falls into the water. Small Bear helps him out. Papa warms up while watching his son skate a figure sixteen.
Now, Papa has to teach his son how to ski. At the top of the ski mountain, Papa orders his son not to slip, but since he's too busy watching his son, he slips anyway and is rolled into a snowball, while Small Bear skis on his tail.
Papa crashes on the bears' tree house. Small Bear thanks him for his lessons on going sledding, skating, and skiing. They go inside and have hot cocoa.
