Ugh, I know, three days to Halloween and I’m on about Christmas. But after missing it for the last two years, I was finally on the ball enough to pick up a Lego City Advent Calendar at Mrs Tiggy Winkles this week, and come December 1 I am going to be the Mother of the Year. It’s not cheap, but it comes with scads of those wee mini-figs that my boys so love. I can’t wait! But fear not, even if you miss the official Lego Advent Calendar, what about making up your own Lego ornaments? LOVE it!!!!

Ooh, I bought that too, plus the Pirate advent calendar, because my kids have one each or the squabbling is unbearable.
LOVE this!!! Thanks for sharing.
Now, how did I not know about this before? Am I that out of touch? How cool is that! What a great alternative to the insanity of chocolate advent calendars!
