Advent 2025: Day 22, Miles and Charles

 

Miles: Hi, Charles.  What do you think we'll find in the calendar today?
Charles: Whatever it is, I sure hope it's frog related.

Miles: Er, don't frogs hibernate in the winter?

Charles: Well, Christmas is the time of miracles...

Miles: Mmm.  Let's find out what's behind door number 22.

Charles: C'mon, Lego, Charlie needs a new froggy!

Miles: And?
Charles: >Sigh< I don't think it's a frog.

Miles: Another prize with lots of pieces.
Charles: I'll put together this half, and you put together that one.

Charles: I'm done.  How are you coming?
Miles: It's getting there, don't rush me.

Miles: Done!
Charles: And we have some pieces left over.

Miles: It's a train.  Kaveh would love this toy.
Charles: Where's the bowl for extra pieces?

Miles: Here it is.
Charles: Funny that Uli hasn't claimed it back yet.
Miles: I think everyone is too afraid to tell her it's in here.

Miles: Should we tell Uli about the bowl?
Charles: Yeah. >Sigh< We'd better.  
It'll bring some peace to the kitchen.

Marta: We're only a couple of days away from Christmas!
Daisy: And it's supposed to snow tonight!  We can go sledding!

Marta: There's our little door, up in the starry night.

Daisy: I can reach way up there.
No Godzilla stomping needed.

Marta: I think it's a little Lego person.
Daisy: I wonder if it's anyone we know.

Marta: It's Mrs. Claus.
Daisy: That giant pretzel would certainly make Natalie hungry!

Marta: The Lego factory forgot to put Mrs. Claus in last year's calendar.

Advent 2025: Day 20, Pete Dakota and BR

 

Pete Dakota: >Sigh< 
Benjamin Roy: Why so glum, chum?
Pete: I overheard Nicholas and Scot-Michael talking about
that darned elf.  I haven't seen him yet and I'm really nervous.
BR: Look, it's only 5 more days until Christmas.  
You haven't seen him yet?  I think you're golden for this year.

BR: Look at the scene this year, so many people and things!
Pete: A crowded Lego playset is the perfect place 
for the elf to hide in.
BR: Let's open our door and find our prize then
I'll treat you to a hot chocolate.

Pete: Uli does make great hot chocolate...

Pete: Whoa--this is a bit intense.
BR: We just need to channel the 'now', as Edith would say.
Pete: >Hee-hee<

Pete: A cookie and cupcake cart!
BR: That's pretty cool.
Pete: I wonder if Uli has made any Christmas cookies 
to go with her hot chocolate.

BR: Speaking of, have you heard the latest 
about Uli and the missing mixing bowl?
Pete: No! Tell me everything!

BR: Add the cookie cart to the set and I'll spill the tea.
Pete: Here you go, Lego Mom, you can share cookies
with your little family.

Advent 2025: Day 19, Christian and Sabrina

 

Sabrina: This is kind of exciting.  We've never done this before!
Christian: We never do anything.  People think we're snobs.

Sabrina: We're not snobs.  We're aloof; there's a difference.
Christian: If you say so. 

Sabrina: That Edith is kind of goofy, but she's right about these big bags.
Christian: Maybe Daddy Steve can use them in his garden.
Sabrina: As what?
Christian: Uh...greenhouses for ants?

Sabrina: Mmm.  These pieces aren't going to assemble themselves.
Christian: On it!

Christian: A snowman!  No self-respecting yard goes without one!

Sabrina: C'mon, Frosty, let's find you a place on the board.

Advent 2025: Day 18, Emma and Edith

 

Edith: Sorry I'm a little late.  I was meditating and was on another plane.
Emma: Uh, oh, I see.  Ready to open our door for the Advent calendar?
Edith: Oh, yes!  Since we're so close to the winter solstice, 
I'm manifesting good vibes for our prize.
Emma: That...that's, um, wonderful.

Emma: Our door is pretty high up.
Edith: A lofty goal, indeed.

Edith: And the goal is achieved!

Emma: They sure use big plastic bags for these prizes.
Edith: Such waste! These Lego people need to think of the environment.

Emma: So many pieces!
Edith: If we focus on the now, we can put it together.
Emma: Oh, sure.  I'm... focusing.

Edith: See?  We did it!  It's a little truck.
Emma: I guess Santa sub-contracted out to UPS for present delivery this year.

Edith: Even reindeer deserve a vacation now and then.
Comet and Cupid are getting on in years, you know.
