This year, as I think I have mentioned, we bought The Boy a lego advent calendar. The advantages of being an only child, really -- I never would have bought TWO of them for each of the children. Next year it's paper all the way, baby.
Our first item was this:
Fun Christmas boy, with snowballs! How festive!
I guess there should be a policeman and megaphone to keep order amongst all the merriment.
The next day we got the snowman. A little weird that he has no face -- not to mention the broom impaling him -- but let's run with it anyway.
A little bit later came skater boy.
And then the traditional holiday lamppost, complete with snow on the leaves!
I quite liked the post man / post truck / present combo (which arrived on three different days).
In amongst there we got a few other things, like a sled, now inexplicably missing.
But then, things got weird.
Ok. We eat at Christmas, so a chef is ... not that strange.

A flower stand in the middle of a Christmas scene .... uh .... well, ok. Maybe they are white pointsettias.
But the weirdest so far:
The Man and I have named him "Frank the Christmas Janitor". We've made up a new carol. There has been much merriment trying to imagine just what the HECK lego was thinking with this one.
But now I think in future Christmas will not be complete without a guy in an orange jumpsuit with a broom.

Too funny.
Now I want one of those! I've put a whole bunch of Lego on my Christmas list. Some of it may be for the child. ;) It is the intersection of our leisure interests, you see. :D
