\nI was in New York today for a meeting. That\u2019s why today\u2019s post is late. While in New York, I walked past the Lego store in Rockefeller Center. That\u2019s where I saw this\u2026.<\/p>\n

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

While everyone else in Rockefeller Center was taking photos of the tree (which is being lit tonight), I took a picture of a bricky Santa. Sadly, he didn\u2019t wave back. <\/p>\n

I thought of marching into the Lego store to ask, \u201cWhere the hell is the Mrs. Claus in the Advent Calendar?\u201d But the area was too crowded and my throat hurt and I’m shy, and hungry. <\/p>\n

On to today\u2019s Lego item!<\/p>\n

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

It\u2019s a Snowman…with a goddamn neckerchief!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

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

He comes with not just one neckerchief, not just two neckerchiefs, but THREE! <\/p>\n

Three! <\/p>\n

This morning I had no neckerchiefs of any kind, and now I\u2019m the proud owner of three <\/em>Lego neckerchiefs! <\/p>\n

He also came with two carrots of titanic size. <\/p>\n

Hey Becky and Mickey, guess what! You’re getting neckerchiefs for the last day of Hanukkah! <\/p>\n

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

I also noticed that neckerchiefs are just tiny capes…if you use the power of imagination (and lying). <\/p>\n

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

This is no ordinary Snowman. It\u2019s Super Snowman<\/strong>! If he has a cape, he can fly! <\/p>\n

You may recall that I have two other Lego snowpeople from previous calendars. <\/p>\n

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

Robot Snowman is not only my first Lego Snowman, but he was my first Lego Advent Calendar prize. As such, he is my favorite, next to Naked Shower Santa. <\/p>\n

I forget why he wears a wig. <\/p>\n

Baby Robot Snowgirl was the only ray of hope in last year\u2019s otherwise dreadful calendar. <\/p>\n

The two now have a new brother – Super Snowman. <\/p>\n

Robot Snowman doesn\u2019t take kindly to strangers, and was jealous of the larger carrots. His carrot nose seems puny by comparison. So he took one of the larger carrots. He can be a bully sometimes. <\/p>\n

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

Day 4 Rating:<\/strong> 3.6 out of 5 (Points added because my neckerchief levels have increased 300%)<\/p>\n

I have no idea what\u2019s happening in this photo. And I don\u2019t want to find out. <\/p>\n
