Advent 2024: Day 7: Miranda and Randall

 

Randall: Our turn for the advent calendar!

Miranda: Oh, I hope the door is easy to open and 

the prize is easy to put together!

Randall: Why?

Miranda: Strenuous exertions will cause my beautiful ponytails 

to come undone.  I simply can't have that.

Randall: I, uh, see.  Well, here's the door.

On the bottom and on the edge.  No exertions needed.

Miranda: >Whew!<

Randall: And look--I don't think there's anything 

we'll need to assemble either.

Miranda: It's a little kitty and his food bowl.

And a rather large fish.  Hope you're hungry, kitty!

Miranda: How do they look?

Randall: Not a stray hair in sight.

Miranda: >Whew!<

Auntie Pat spent so much time getting them just right.

Miranda: There.  Kitty and the puppy can enjoy

their dinners in the kitchen.

Randall: Speaking of food, I wonder if Uli's

got any Christmas cookies ready.

Advent 2024: Day 6: Gino and Elias

 

Gino: We call him 'Babbo Natale' in Italian.

Elias: We call him 'Weihnachtsmann' in German.

Gino: Mio Dio, that is a mouthful.  'Santa Claus' it is!

Elias: >smirks<  If you say so, heh.

Gino: Can you see our window for today?

Elias: Yep, here it is.  This one looks a bit tricky.

Gino: You weren't kidding, amico.

Elias: If we put our heads together, I'm sure we'll get it.

Elias: Well?

Gino: It's a boat.

Elias: And a remote control.

Gino: A remote-controlled boat.

Elias: Huh.

Elias: I don't see a pond or anything, 

so I guess we'll put in the house?

Gino: Buona idea!  Someone will find it under the Christmas tree.

Advent 2024: Day Four: Lara and Pete Dakota

 

Lara: Hi Pete, where's your shadow BR?

Pete: He's busy writing a letter to Santa.

He's asking for new motorcycle gear.

Lara: Typical.  Look, the door for today is up by that chimney.

Pete: Don't say "chimney" too loud or Nathan will go on another

rant about how a fat Santa can't fit down a skinny chimney.

Lara: Oh yes, I almost forgot about that.

It appears that our prize might be a skateboard!

Pete: You're right, it's a skateboard and helmet.

But no skateboarder?

Lara: Maybe the snowboarder trades off.

Lara: We'd better leave the skateboard outside.

Pete: Yeah, Daddy Steve won't have a skateboard 

in the house for any reason.

Advent 2024: Day Three: Paul and Hermey

Hermey: Door is vay on top of das haus!

Paul: I think I can just reach it.

Hermey: Wunderbar!

Paul: Hold the chair steady now.

Hermey: Ja, ja! I hold.

Paul: It looks like a little animal!

Hermey: Ein Hund oder eine Katze?

Hermey: Ein Hund!  Voof, voof little Hund!

Paul: We'll place him in the house so he's nice and warm.

Hermey: Maybe Heiliger Nikolaus vill bring me ein Hund for Christmas.

Paul: Well, you have been a good boy all year, so anything's possible.

Hermey: Wunderbar!

Advent 2024: Day Two: Mabel and Meredith

 

Mabel: We're M&Ms!
Meredith: Do you think we'll have to pay a royalty to the Mars Company?

Mabel: Hah!  They should be paying us!

Meredith: >Ha-ha!<

Meredith: This looks quite nice.  Can you see the door for today?

Mabel: Yes, it's just over there, near you.

Meredith: Oh, I see it! Right between the two houses.

Meredith: Oh my.

Mabel: What is it?

Meredith: I...have no idea.

Mabel: 'Oh my' is right.

Spread the pieces on the rug and we'll figure it out.

Mabel: Some sort of drill?

Meredith: Perhaps for ice fishing?

Mabel: But there's no pond or lake for fishing.

I guess we can put it next to the snowboarder.

Meredith: I don't know.  If an ice drill is in any way Christmassy,

I'll eat my bow!

Advent 2024: Day One: Chance Victor and Rachel

 Can it be?  It's that time again!  

As usual, we're using the Holly Belle-approved™ Lego City Advent Calendar.

Rachel: Hi, I'm Rachel.  I'm new.

Chance Victor: And I'm new, too!

Rachel: And we're both red heads.

Chance: Gingers Unite!

Rachel: >Tee-Hee<

Chance: Well, there's the '1' door.  

Would you like to do the honors?

Rachel: Why, thank you!

I wonder what the little figure will be?

Chance: Looks like there a number of pieces.

Although, I think it's a person--I see a little head.

Rachel: Watch out!  The head is rolling away!

Chance: Whoops!  Come back here, you.

Rachel: A snowboarder.  Isn't that clever?

Chance: I've got a snowboard, too.

Rachel: Now all we need is some snow!

And we're off!
