\"\"<\/a>There is no hope for the Lego Friends Advent Calendar. Nothing can save it. Today could spit out a Lego jetpack and a real, live puppy and I would still blame the calendar for ruining my entire holiday.<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s item was the worse thing anyone has ever received. The purse was so small and awful that I\u2019m certain it was actually a virus.<\/p>\n

This calendar is for girls, and while I\u2019ve never been a girl, I can\u2019t imagine any young lass feeling happy about this product. It\u2019s terrible. It\u2019s bad. It\u2019s terri-bad.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s keep going, if only for the sake of tradition. I\u2019m assuming today\u2019s item will be a Lego cavity. What do you think is behind the 20th door?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a Christmas Forest! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I like it. I like it quite a bit, actually. There are flowers and some snow, and it makes me feel happy! Plus, it came with extra parts! And I had a chance to build something!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s strange how little building is involved in the Lego Friends line. Lego are all about building. Not being able to build with Lego is like getting an Xbox that only works as a radio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So today\u2019s item is pretty great. Yay! I\u2019m smiling!<\/p>\n

And then I remember that this calendar also gave me a bucket and a purse and all the joy leaves my body in literal waves of tears.<\/p>\n

Why couldn\u2019t every day be as fun as this? I would gladly accept 20 days of nothing but Lego Plants instead of the dreck I yanked out of this box.<\/p>\n

Whatever. Let\u2019s just be glad that I don\u2019t need to wield fire upon today\u2019s item.<\/p>\n

Nintendo, being the adventurous sort, quickly went exploring deep into the Christmas Forest!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, the Christmas Forest isn\u2019t much of a forest and is probably just a poinsettia, but shut up. I need this to be a forest. Dan needs a win today. It\u2019s a forest! And you can explore it!<\/p>\n

Day 20 Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10 (Points added because it\u2019s good.)<\/p>\n

Four days left! I\u2019m tempted to just open up the rest of the box tonight and get this over with, but I won\u2019t. I\u2019ll be good. (Naked Shower) Santa is watching.<\/p>\n
