\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s a good news\/bad news day. <\/p>\n

First the bad news: A villain used my credit card number and stole my identity and I spent the morning on the phone with the bank trying to figure out what happened. I\u2019m getting a new card, but it won\u2019t arrive for a few days. It\u2019s not like I need to buy anything during these precious few hours before Christmas. <\/p>\n

Good news: I still haven\u2019t heard the Christmas Shoes song! I\u2019m feeling good about this. Can I make it just five more days? Every day, the tension builds. Part of me wants<\/em> to hear it, just to get the pain over with. I must be strong, though. I must carry on. YOU WON\u2019T GET ME THIS YEAR, CHRISTMAS SHOES<\/em>! <\/p>\n

But the best news of the day, so far, is what lived behind door 19 of the Lego Advent Calendar.
\n<\/p>\n

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

It\u2019s a Speeder Bike! With a Christmas present! And a pistol on the back…for some reason!<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Holy…wow. <\/p>\n

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

The speeder bike is perhaps my favorite of all Star Wars vehicles. (Sorry Millenium Falcon – I still love you too.) The speeder bike, best known as The Only Good Thing on the Forest Moon of Endor<\/em>, is a flying motorcycle, like the kind you’d see in my mind if you tried to incept <\/em>my dreams. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m explaining this. You know what the speeder bike is. You know what it can do. <\/p>\n

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

This one comes with a present. Luke grabbed the present despite Principal McMurphy saying, \u201cSlow it down, Mr. Skywalker. We\u2019re not opening any gifts until the person who flushed socks down the teacher\u2019s urinal steps forward!\u201d<\/p>\n

There was silence. Then Huck hopped on the speeder bike and screamed, \u201cIt was me!\u201d and sped off. <\/p>\n

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

Jojo whispers, \u201cHe\u2019s so…dreamy.\u201d Then she sighed. <\/p>\n

Luke then whispered to no one, \u201cI hope it\u2019s an Xbox, or moisture, or a photo of my biological mom, or power converters, or one glove!\u201d<\/p>\n

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

Day 19 Rating:<\/strong> 4.5 out of 5 (Points added because I\u2019m impressed with the creative use of tiny bricks that form the speeder bike…also the present is wonderful!)<\/p>\n

Avengers Calendar Day 19<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s…the ghost from Three Men and a Baby<\/em>! I knew he was an Avenger! (Give yourself 28 points if you know the ghost from Three Men and a Baby<\/em>.) <\/p>\n

Dan makes and sells magic pencils (PowerPencils.com<\/a>), but if you order them now, they won\u2019t arrive in time for Christmas. That\u2019s okay! Power Pencils are great any time! Click here to order<\/a>. And we have some fun, crazy stuff planned for the new year. More announcements in the coming week. <\/em><\/p>\n
