The sign glows in the dark. It is rather large and looks awful.

Would it be childish to change parking to parping and scatter a few sprouts around?

I’m thinking about elves trying to help Santa out of his predicament, anyone seen cheap ones anywhere like b and m etc?

Amazing!! Placemarking to send suggestions later

Nquartz I know a 55yo who plays with Lego, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

SorenLorensonsInvisibleFriend · 21/12/2018 14:18

Thank you, @Philomensapie! Love the Christmas joy on this thread Xmas Grin

GuyMartinsSideburns · 21/12/2018 14:17

This is so funny! Good work op Wink

JoeElliotsMullet · 21/12/2018 14:12

Best thread.
Can you get some tiny roadworks set up? With a little diversion? Or some little toy cows crossing the pavement?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 21/12/2018 14:11

The car's wonderful, but can't help feeling the "contents" could bear some improvement

How about an image of a mooning Santa, cut out and stuck inside the windscreen?

Something like this:

Please let Santa be joined each evening by one of the Twelve Days of Christmas cohort!

EchoCardioGran · 21/12/2018 13:56

This is great. Thank you for some Christmas Cheer.
You truly are mint AnneTwackie
More please, loving all the suggestions.

You need one of those tacky "parking for Santa's sleigh only!" signs tacked to the top of. You couldn't outline it in battery powered fairy lights.

PP suggested tiny cones, Lego do them if you have any handy (although maybe not with teenagers in the house).

C00lio · 21/12/2018 13:41

This could be like the best advent calendar EVER.

But watch out... GrinchMan will be keeping an eye on his precious sign now...

JohnMcCainsDeathStare · 21/12/2018 13:39

We must have a Lego Parking warden or similar and some reindeer - maybe they don't have a valid MOT?

HauntedPencil · 21/12/2018 13:39

Wow 😂 This is the best.

So he's got that sign up and it's not even his own actual designated space? That's truly magical

I'd be tempted to get one made for my side saying

Park There >>>>>>

stokieginge · 21/12/2018 13:37

This is my favourite MN thread

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 21/12/2018 13:35

I suggest some teeny tiny parking cones next

Wooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhh · 21/12/2018 13:34

New favourite thread!

IShitChristmasGlitter · 21/12/2018 13:31

oh this is amazing you are a legend! This has to carry on until Christmas. Go find a toy tow truck or a tractor or something to tow it along tonight.

LatinJules · 21/12/2018 13:29

Epic!

Malotkins · 21/12/2018 13:29

Placemarking for sure Grin

alfagirl73 · 21/12/2018 13:26

Definitely don't tell anyone its you. Just keep doing it and you'll end up an epic mystery legend! I agree with the person saying to go out and comment on it with neighbours and join in the wonderment! Throw people off the scent. You could keep this one going for a long time... I'm picturing Easter Bunnies and all kinds! Sorry... getting carried away now! Hehe! This is fab! Grin
