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.

Advent 2025: Day 21, Marta and Daisy

 

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.

Daisy: They've got their act together this year!

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.

Advent 2025: Day 17, Blake and Jack

 

Blake: Hi, Jack!

Jack: Hi, are you ready?

Blake: You bet your fur I am!

I'm even dressed in purple, the traditional color of Advent!

Blake: Wow, the place is getting a bit crowded.

Jack: Well, we are closer to Christmas so the more Legos the merrier!

Blake: I'll just move a couple aside to open the door.

Jack: I think it's another Lego person.

Jack: Yes!  It is another little guy in a costume!

Jack: It's a little guy in a tree suit, with a present.

Blake: We should dress up in costumes for Christmas!

Blake: Here you go, Tree Man.  Right next to the other tree.

Jack: Okay, I'm ready for the main event.  Bring on the cake!

Advent 2025: Day 16, Midori and Kenzo

 

Midori: I'm a Buddhist, so I don't really get this whole Advent thing.

Kenzo: Well, uh, I'll explain it as we go along.

Kenzo: Our door is there, behind the little bear boy.

Midori: And what is behind the door?

Kenzo: To know what is behind the door, one must open the front of the door.

Midori: Very sensible and ethical.

Midori: I do not understand this representation.

Kenzo: It's a diagram to show us how the pieces

are interconnected to result in our prize.

Midori: I see.

Midori: There are certainly a lot of pieces to this 'prize.'

Kenzo: Think of it as an 8-fold path to achieving Advent.

Midori: We have at least achieved a toy prize.  And some extra pieces.

Kenzo: It also means we are one day closer to Christmas!

Midori: And just what is this toy?

Kenzo: Looks like a space explorer thing.

Midori: Mm.  And what about the extra pieces?

Kenzo: We put them with the others in this mixing bowl.

Midori: ...did you say a mixing bowl?

Isn't Uli missing a mixing bowl?

Kenzo: I think we have attained an enlightenment!
