Advent 2025: Day 7, Sylvia and Eric

 

Sylvia: Hi Eric, ready to open our door on the Advent calendar?

Eric: As ready as a Lever Bee!

Sylvia: Uh, okay then.  Here's the door, way down in the corner.

Eric: This may be an easy one.

Sylvia: Oh, good.  I don't like the ones with a lot of pieces.

Sylvia: A little dog with his food and water dish!

How cute!

Eric: I think it's a chihuahua!

Hey, how does a chihuahua wish you a Merry Christmas?

Sylvia: >Sigh< I don't know, how does a chihuahua 

wish you a Merry Christmas?

Eric: Fleas Navidog!  Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Get it?

Sylvia: Yes.  Can I give it back?

Eric: Awwww...

Advent 2025: Day 6, Katy and Harriet

Harriet: One day closer to Santa coming!

Katy: It is exciting, isn't it?

Harriet: There's our door, on the high rise.

Katy: I wonder how Santa gets down a high rise's chimney.

Katy: And here's our prize!

Katy: What is it?

Harriet: I'm not sure...

Harriet: There are wheels, so a vehicle of some sort?

Katy: There are an awful lot of transport toys this year.

Harriet: I guess it's a toy tractor.

Katy: It can go on the floor; there will probably

be a Lego boy or girl to play with it.

Katy: What'd you do with the extra pieces?

Harriet: I put them in the blue thing over there.

Shall we go see if Uli has made some hot chocolate?

Katy: We'd better steer clear of the kitchen for a while.

Uli has it all torn up; she's searching for something.

Harriet: What is she looking for?

Katy: No idea.

Advent 2025: Day 5, Kirwan Mahoney and Noah Conrad

 

Kirwan Mahoney: As I live and breathe, Noah Conrad!

Noah Conrad: Hmmph.

Kirwan: Whatever got you out of your woodshop dungeon?

Noah: Oh, hush.  Let's get this over with.

Kirwan: Ready when you are, Scrooge.

Kirwan: And don't look at me like that.  I'll be good.

Holly Belle made me sign a contract that I would not hide pieces, swap pieces,

or in any other way disrupt the Advent Calendar.

Noah: Hah!  Good for her.

Noah: There's the door, right in the center.

Can you reach it?

Kirwan: Oh ho!  What do we have here?

Noah: It looks like Daddy John in an ugly Christmas sweater.

Kirwan: Actually, he looks rather sharp.

Kirwan: But your mention of an ugly sweater gives me 

a fabulous idea for a Christmas present for you.

Noah: >Sigh< Please don't.

Kirwan: We'll put Dad and his camera right here in the middle;

ready to take photos of all the Christmas activities.

Advent 2025: Day 4, Paul David and Serena

 

Serena: Boy, have I been ready for this.

I haven't had a turn for three years!

Paul David: Oh? Why's that?

Serena: Last time it was my turn, I had to get up on the table.

I stomped around like I was Godzilla and Holly Belle was not amused.

Paul David: Ah, say no more.

Serena: There's the door, up by that helicopter.

Paul David: I've got the prize.  And Tokyo is spared destruction.

Serena: Oh, this is exciting!

I think I know what it is!

Paul David: It's a scooter!

Serena: Just waiting for the right little Lego person to come ride it.

Advent 2025: Day 3, Lydia and Alice

 

Lydia: Well, Alice, ready for our turn?

Alice: I don't know.  What if we can't put the pieces together?

Lydia: It'll be a snap.

Snap.  Get it? They're Legos?  They snap together?

 >Sigh< Oh, come on, let's find our door.

Alice: Oh dear, the door is up so high!

Lydia: Good thing we 'No Navels' have such long, graceful arms.

Lydia: I got it out, you can put it together.

Alice: Oh dear.

Alice: Oh! A cute little teddy bear on a table!

You were right, it was a snap!

Lydia: Now she gets it.  >Sigh<

Lydia: We'll put Mr. Teddy here, and he can

watch over the living room.

Advent 2025: Day 2, Miguel and Sasha

 

Miguel: I thought we were opening the calendar outside?

Sasha: A chance to show off our snazzy new parka vests.

Miguel: No matter.  We are still the most guapo of Gregoropolis!

Sasha: True story.

Miguel: Here is our little door, right in the middle 

of the moonlight scene.

Sasha: I wonder what that could be?

Miguel: We will know once we put it together...

Sasha: ...and away we go!

Sasha: It's a snowplow! Oh yeah, we rock!

Miguel: And on the first try!

Miguel: We'll put it on the train tracks around the Christmas tree.

Sasha: There's no snow there.

Miguel: Then he has done his job well.

Sasha: Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Sasha: We can put the extra pieces in this mixing bowl from the kitchen.

Miguel: Won't Uli get upset that we took it?

Sasha: Aw, she'll never notice.

Famous last words...

Uli: Vhere ist mein good mixing bowl?!

Advent 2025: Day 1, Diego Luis and Jessica

 It's Advent season again and the kids are lining up to open their calendar.  We've once again gone with Lego: The City as it is Holly Belle Approved™...

Jessica: Hola, Diego Luis!

Diego Luis: Hola, you are Jessica, no?

Jessica: No.  Wait, I mean sí.  Yes, my name is Jessica.

Diego: Ay, bueno.  I was worried you might be the bossy girl.

Jessica: Bossy--?  Oh, you mean Holly Belle!  

Diego: Oh, yes, that is the one.  Shall we, señorita?

Jessica: We shall.  And there's the door to our prize!

Diego: It looks like a little muchacho de oso?

Jessica: And he has a little popsicle!

He looks like Max from Where The Wild Things Are.

Diego: I do not know that story.

Jessica: Really?  It's great--even better when someone reads it to you.

You should ask Santa Claus for the book for Christmas!

Diego: Hmm, have I been good enough for Papá Noel this year?

Jessica: We'll put Max here, just outside the house.

Diego: His oso polar suit will keep him warm.
