<\/a><\/p>\nIt’s Santa! <\/strong><\/p>\n It’s a very good Santa, with painted-on glasses. And he came with an extra beard!<\/p>\n Delores was glad her husband was home, but quickly told him, “Your ex is here. So…isn’t that nice?” <\/p>\n Clara then asked Bird Thing to wear the extra beard…for some reason. <\/p>\n I think Clara will have a very merry Christmas as a single woman. <\/p>\n And now I add one more Santa to my Lego Santa collection! My army is 0.014% complete! <\/p>\n Guess I’ll need to open another calendar next year to add another Santa. <\/p>\n This year’s calendar has been great. Ice angels and gingerbread houses made these 24 days exciting…thrilling…dynamic! Or maybe I just get overexcited about plastic building toys. <\/p>\n Here’s a shot of whole shebang…(it looks like a mess, but that’s what Christmas is about — messes!)<\/p>\n As usual, let’s run down the items in order of Worst to Best. <\/p>\n That wraps another year! Merry Christmas, happy holidays and have a viper New Year!<\/p>\n Thanks for reading along. It was a good one. <\/p>\n And as always, give me your money, and I will give you Power Pencils<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>24. Sled<\/strong>
\nThis thin slice of “toy” was the only complete dud in the calendar. And even this dud came with hockey sticks!<\/p>\n<\/a>23. Race Car<\/strong>
\nCan’t type. Yawning…<\/p>\n<\/a>22. Bar<\/strong>
\nThis still seems out of place in this world. <\/p>\n<\/a>21. Santa’s Sleigh<\/strong>
\nWould it kill Lego to add a few reindeer next year? Just sayin’…<\/p>\n<\/a>20. Boat<\/strong>
\nIt’s big. Too big. <\/p>\n<\/a>19. Christmas Tree<\/strong>
\nNo topper this year? No decorations? Lego phoned it in this year. <\/p>\n<\/a>18. Red Plane<\/strong>
\nA simple, yet fun little plane. <\/p>\n<\/a>17. Banana Plane<\/strong>
\nA better plane because it was bigger and more banana-ish. <\/p>\n<\/a>16. Fire Truck<\/strong>
\nA nifty little truck. <\/p>\n<\/a>15. Snowmobile <\/strong>
\nAt this point, I really don’t need another Lego snowmobile in my life. <\/p>\n<\/a>14. Flamingo the Ski Person<\/strong>
\nI kept forgetting she existed…as you can see from the photos of the entire calendar I put together. I accidentally left her out of it. The girl needs to lean in and speak up or else she’s never going to make it in this world. <\/p>\n<\/a>13. Train<\/strong>
\nIt’s cute. You can fit it in most nostrils, and there’s no warning on the box to deter such action. <\/p>\n<\/a>12. Snowman (Turned into Bird Thing)<\/strong>
\nAs a snowman, it’s a sad, pathetic waste of plastic. As Bird Thing, it’s a cryptic creature from an unknown world who seems to really like Clara. <\/p>\n<\/a>
\n11. Fireplcae<\/strong>
\nAnother standard of the Lego Advent Calendar, this year’s fireplace looks exactly like all other Lego fireplaces. . <\/p>\n<\/a>10. Melvin <\/strong>
\nHe’s spoiled. He should be more humble. It’s not all about him. <\/p>\n<\/a>
\n9. Barnum the Ice Sculptor <\/strong>
\nHe came with a deadly saw but turned that horror into art. <\/p>\n<\/a>8. Lulu the Radio Lady<\/strong>
\nShe’s so happy and dedicated to her job…whatever her job may be. <\/p>\n<\/a>7. Chair with Lamp and Christmas Tree<\/strong>
\nI love this prefect little bit of nonsense. <\/p>\n<\/a>
\n6. Helicopter <\/strong>
\nThe propeller spins. <\/p>\n<\/a>5. Santa <\/strong>
\nHe’s a terrific Santa, but he didn’t come with any “wow” factor, like a reindeer, a star, or baby Jesus. <\/p>\n<\/a>
\n4. Snow Blower<\/strong>
\nIt came during the first snow of the season, and that’s not coincidence — that’s dark, unholy magiks.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n3. Gingerbread House<\/strong>
\nIt’s adorable<\/p>\n<\/a>2. Ex-Mrs. Claus, Clara<\/strong>
\nA genuine Mrs. Claus in the Lego Calendar? I’m still happily surprised. <\/p>\n<\/a>
\n1. Ice Angel <\/strong>
\nShe’s made of dreams.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
