Everyone should be opening the last of their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reasonablyclever.com\/lego\/advent2008\/wars.html\">advent calendars<\/a>&#8230; I&#8217;ve been following and enjoying <a href=\"http:\/\/stud-and-tube.com\/Original\/Season\/Advent2008\/index.html\">MisaQa&#8217;s &#8220;Mythical Creatures&#8221; advent calendar<\/a>&#8230; this is the third year I&#8217;ve followed MisaQa and look forward to it every year. And speaking of advent calendars, I saw on BrickSet&#8217;s RSS feed today that there will be a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brickset.com\/detail.aspx?Set=6299-1\">#6299 Pirate Advent Calendar<\/a> next year??? Let&#8217;s just hope LEGO doesn&#8217;t screw it up next year and not ship them to the US like they did with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brickset.com\/detail.aspx?Set=7979-1\">#7979 Castle Advent Calendar<\/a>! I bought my two and I&#8217;m jonesing for another one.<\/p>\n<p>Was surfing around Flickr looking for something to blog about and stumbled across this Christmas LEGO display. I really wish I knew some of the history behind it &#8212; I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve seen anything on this scale in the US, except the there&#8217;s a similar LEGO Santa at the Orlando LIC&#8230; And I&#8217;m starting to wonder what they&#8217;ll do with the LEGO Santa after the holidays (put it in storage, ship it back to HQ, or something else).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=brickbuildr\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LEGO Originally uploaded by postpac It&#8217;s Christmas Eve.
