There is no sense making you wait through a bunch of dumb introductory words to get to today’s fantastic, awe-inspiring item.

To stall any longer would be a cruel punishment reserved for only the naughtiest humans.

You need to see this prize now.

Take a breath and witness the highlight of the calendar.

Today’s item is…

ROBOT!

Robot!
Robot!
Robot!

A wind-up robot with a wind-up part!

Merry Christmas to me!

Sure, a robot is a great, but let’s dig a little deeper into today’s offering.

First, there were so many parts! And among the parts were claws, dials, wind-up keys and clear pieces!

Second, it’s a robot!

Third, he has a stack of clear pieces. I don’t know why. He just has this stack of pieces. He loves clear pieces just like me!

Such a creature as this need not play with the standard Lego Advent Calendar toys. At least not yet. For today, he is greeted by the highlights of past calendars!

Ice Angel, Astronaut, Ghost Pirate, Mrs. Claus and Naked Shower Santa have a new member of their elite club. (They meet every Tuesday at Panera Bread to discuss social trends. They also spend the weekends fighting crime.)

Naturally, this new robot was a little overwhelmed by some of the Elites.

Can’t really blame him.

But soon he realized just how special he was and all was right in the world.

And his name is Leland.

Day 22 Rating: Infinity out of 5.

See you tomorrow!

This blog is brought to by PowerPencils.com, but it doesn’t even matter because now I have a robot named Leland!
