\"\"<\/a>The very worst part about wrapping presents, besides the time it takes, the accidental ripping, the wrinkly folding, the misjudged size of paper and subsequent hackneyed addition of tiny bits of paper to cover the gaping holes, and your only roll of tape that always vanishes, is that it\u2019s all for the purposes of being destroyed. <\/p>\n

And not destroyed in a good way, like the way your mouth destroys a sandwich. The wrapping paper is destroyed and turned into garbage faster than you can say, \u201cI kept the receipt if it doesn\u2019t fit.\u201d <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying we should stop wrapping presents; a wrapped present is always better than an unwrapped gift. I just want someone else to do it for me. <\/p>\n

Anyway, today\u2019s Lego item is a Christmas Tree. (Spoiler Alert)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

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

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

This is my third Lego Christmas Tree, and it\u2019s as good as the others. In fact, it doesn\u2019t deviate from the design of previous year\u2019s trees. <\/p>\n

Except for the star. <\/p>\n

Look at that star!<\/p>\n

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

It\u2019s less a Christmas Star than a Cosmic Starfish. Which is why I\u2019m now calling it…
\nCosmic Starfish<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

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

Look at that thing! It\u2019s like candy! I\u2019m tempted to lick it, but I know that\u2019s exactly what the Cosmic Starfish wants. After you lick it, it infects your mind and takes control of your body. Trust me. I know how this works. Good thing the Cosmic Starfish is a good guy. He’s here to help! <\/p>\n

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

Love it. <\/p>\n

Day 22 Rating:<\/strong> 8.9 out of 10 (Points added for the Cosmic Starfish.)<\/p>\n

Only 2 more days! <\/p>\n

I assume the Cosmic Starfish is here to protect us. But from what, exactly? Hmm…<\/p>\n
