...and so every day between now and Christmas I'll be bringing you some scenes of what they are getting up to during advent.

Today Marta is helping Matthias put up the Christmas decorations. She puts the last bauble on the tree.

Brendan has won a bottle of blue wine! He's very pleased with that.

The last prize is the lovely hamper of fruit. It goes to Eve Jennings! Her partner Samson and the children are all delighted. It has been a very successful Christmas fair!

The blue wine bottle is the size of a child! That's going to be a heck of a party

This is so lovely thank you so much @SoMuchToBits

I see Mr Giles and Miss Jennings respective partners and children have appeared - scotching any rumours that there could be a romance between the two!

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 12/12/2025 10:09

What a brilliant school fair! Excellent prizes for the draw! Brendan and his gigantic bottle of blue wine 🎉
Thank you @SoMuchToBits 🌟

Excellent Christmas fayre. Well done playmo PTA!

Westfacing · 12/12/2025 10:22

Lovely scenes of the many different stalls - loved the books and bric-a-brac! 🎄

That’s a massive bottle of wine!

Haha, when I set the scenes up I had no idea that anyone was going to suggest a romance between them. Their appearance is entirely coincidental! Xmas Grin

Thank you all for the great comments! I really enjoyed choosing the prizes for the grand draw, which was a new thing this year. Xmas Smile

So lovely - I now want a Jeroboam of blue wine!

PandoraSocks · 12/12/2025 12:26

I was on tenterhooks for the grand draw! Your attention to detail is most excellent @SoMuchToBits all the stalls are excellent. This thread is such a lovely little escape.

ChessieFL · 12/12/2025 13:18

Excellent work. I love that you’ve thought of all the backstories/character relationships!

SoMuchToBits · 12/12/2025 13:30

Haha @ChessieFL I have a Playmo planner which lists all the family relationships, place names etc. And another planner in which I jot down ideas for scenes, and list items I'll need to use from different themes, or items I might need to buy in some cases. Also as I was setting up these scenes I made a note of which items I used came from which sets, so that I could easily return them to the correct boxes afterwards! Xmas Grin

The bric-a-brac stall and the grand draw stall were especially good! Thank you!

SoMuchToBits · 12/12/2025 15:51

Thanks @Thetrickcyclist ! I've done school fairs before, but the bric-a-brac and grand draw were new this year, so I'm pleased you liked them. Xmas Smile

Love the bric-a-brac stall. Also finding Samson's stubble rather fetching.

SoMuchToBits · 12/12/2025 17:31

Am chuckling about Samson's stubble being fetching @MerylSqueak ! Xmas Grin

DH and I look forward to your posts, op.
Best one of the week was the other day with the workmen queuing for the portaloo after too much tea. Priceless! DH did ask why the guy in the loo didn’t shut the door, how uncouth. My feeling was how nice it was to see men in a queue for the loos instead of the ladies. 😬

SoMuchToBits · 12/12/2025 21:03

Thanks @HumerousHumous I think Bossy Ross had only just walked into the portaloo and was about to shut the door behind him! Xmas Wink Pleased you are enjoying the scenes!

It's the end of the school fair, and all the winners are announced. Yumiko has won the guess the weight of the cake. Her family look forward to eating it with her.

Can we join in the guess the weight of the cake comp? I think the playmo cake weighs 6.8 gms.
