It's advent for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

...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.

Thanks. He was a German breed, so it seemed appropriate!

@OttersMayHaveShifted I was also trying to choose a German name, as he belongs to Marta and her son Franz, who are some of the German named Playmo people.

🎄🎉

Thank you as always @SoMuchToBits

Hopefully there will not be too much drinking for those members of Playmoland who are in training for the Winter Olympics.

I hope not @RafaistheKingofClay ! I did do a Winter Olympics in 2022, but not sure I have enough new material to warrant another one yet.

Yay!

(The Playmobil folk are more ready than I am.)

Yeah maybe give them some time off.

@MrsMoastyToasty the Playmobil people are more ready than I am too! Mostly because I have spent most of November planning, arranging and photographing the advent thread!

I was just thinking about last years thread and look whats just started. Yeayh! Well done OP.

Thanks for inviting me along So much a lovely surprise when I got in from work.

Are they having guests to stay for Christmas? The Lego Men perhaps?

They might be having guests - but probably not Lego people as they exist on a different scale and we don't have any Lego people these days.

Thank you for the shoutout, your playmobil threads are the best thing about Mumsnet! 🎄

For any people new to Playmo thread, previous ones are in Classics and very much worth a read.

Thank you so much for tagging me in this @SoMuchToBits it does bring me a lot of joy. I love the name choices and the effort you put in to it all with the staging. My favourite is always the elections.

This is so wholesome I love it

Thank you @WelcomeToDecemberItGetsWorseHereEveryDay , but only some of the older ones are in Classics. Since Chat stopped being 90 days only, they have been left in Chat (which is where I always start them).

But if anyone wants to search for them, I usually include the words "for the Playmobil people in our house" to make them more easily searchable!

Thank you all for the the lovely comments! There will be more scenes tomorrow.

This is so lovely. Thank you @SoMuchToBits

Each year these are a joy to me, @SoMuchToBits

Thank you for tagging me @SoMuchToBits I am looking forward to this very much. The perfect way to round off the year! Season's Greetings to you and yours! 🎄🎅🎁🌟

Ooh goodie a playmo thread

Are there ever in law dramas in playmo land? Feel we need one!

Think Norman the Foreman and co should have a works party, perhaps a resulting scandal?

Loving the ideas! Not sure about a works party, but I'm sure Norman will make an appearance at some point!

Melts my heart, thank you

I had a fairly extensive set of words and names to choose from, as I am a German teacher
