It's the Christmas season for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

...and so I'm bringing you another advent calendar this year, showing what the Playmobil people are getting up to in the run up to Christmas.

Matthias is putting up his Christmas decorations and Marta has come over to help him.

Ah, that makes sense @SoMuchToBits you and all the other people who are working on Christmas Day are marvellous. Especially those working in care, health and emergency services.

You're wonderful for doing these playmo threads for us. Must take such a lot of your time.

Thanks, soup! Yes it's time-consuming but also a lot of fun!

Amazing!!! You have so much lovely playmobil

Wow, if I have another hospital stay, I want to be on your ward, SoMuch! You've just got to be fabulous IRL!

Wow! How have I missed these threads? How long have they been going on?

Wonderful, OP!

@Bloodybridget you probably don't want to break a bone really!

@MalarkeyMouse I've been doing the odd Playmobil thread since about 2010. Started with an election, then a Royal wedding in 2011, PlaymOlympics in 2012 Winter PlaymOlympics in 2014. Then did 2 royal weddings last year plus an advent calendar, and this year have done a summer holidays, a harvest festival and this. Plus another couple of elections and a Plexit referendum over the years too.

Today, Marta, Matthias, Franz and Emil are enjoying a sleigh ride.

Marta spots some foxes!

They see some lovely deer too.

Marta and Matthias take the boys to visit Father Christmas and meet his reindeer.

Wish I had snowy white sheets like yours, Bits
Love the little foxes
Hey! a bit off topic, but when will your son be back for the Christmas break?

Oh the sleigh🥰

@SoMuchToBits. I've been here since then, I have a lot of catching up to do!

What a romantic time for Marta and Matthias. I wonder if they will share a smooch under the mistletoe this year...

@Katinski ds came home on Sunday evening (after I had gone out to work). It's lovely having him around. Last night we went to the pub together, and this morning he took me to visit a friend and do some shopping in a neighbouring town. He's currently playing his xylophone!

@MalarkeyMouse I think the most recent ones are all in Chat. The older ones are in Classics, except the Plexit one which was in Chat but never got moved, so got deleted. And the PlaymOlympics wasn't a thread, it was a page which MNHQ asked me to do at the time, so not sure if it's still viewable anywhere.

Also the older threads were before you could post photos on the thread, so I had the photos on my profile, but they all seem to have disappeared (no idea how but my profile doesn't seem to work as a clickable link any more).

@soupforbrains unfortunately Playmobil don't make mistletoe!

This is amazing! I love the snow scenes! You've made me want to dig out my old Playmobil house etc that has been lying in a cupboard for 25 years

Thank you! I hope you get those Playmo people out, they will be fed up of living in a cupboard for that long!

Ooh, I never thought of that, hehe! Poor Playmos. I'll look it all out at the weekend. Looking forward to seeing the next lot of photos from you!

No foxes were harmed in the telling of this story, which I am glad to read about!

It's the last evening of their holiday and Marta and Matthias are ordering a drink from the bar.

They are joined by Karin and Ludwig in front of the log burning stove. Cheers!

It all looks very cosy!

I find myself ridiculously invested in MArta and Matthias's relationship... I want them to have a dreamily romantic christmas together and be happily in love forever, (perhaps a wedding next year)

I'm single I have to live vicariously through SOMEONE

I am too, Soup am half in love with Matthias myself !! ... But of course want him to marry Marta ( blue wine ! Shes my kind of girl!)

Are Marta & Matthias spending Christmas together? 🙂
