It’s Friday and we’ve done nine advent calendar flaps now – Christmas Eve is getting closer!
Keeping with the ice-hockey player from day eight, Lego City produced a stand (for want of a better word – I don’t know much about ice-hockey!) for holding ice-skates, pucks, etc beside the ice.
Unfortunately, my daughter was not so happy with the ninth flap of the Friends calendar – in fact there were tears because it wasn’t anything Christmassy and advent calendars should be about Christmas Mummy!”
I thought the turntable and microphone set was quite cute, but I agree it is not related to Christmas as such (but I never expected every day to be directly Christmas related). I guess it is hard because ice skating, fires and hot chocolate and the like are not part of our Christmas celebrations in any way – hopefully Lego will do a warmer weather focussed advent calendar next year (it’s not only Australia that is in summer!)
Ice hockey player (and props) looks good!
Glad you liked it, BusyPlayingHockey 🙂 I’m guessing it looks suitably real (having never seen ice hockey in real life, it is not my area of expertise!)
