SnowMuch's annual advent calendar thread - what did you get in yours today?

121 replies

SnowMuchToBits · 01/12/2012 08:15

Ds and I are having our annual advent calendar competition where we have guessed what is in all the windows. One point for something you guessed but on the wrong day, two points for the right thing on the right day.

Today I had a decoration (1 point), ds also had a decoration (no points, as he didn't guess decoration for any day). He also has the Playmobil Knights tournament advent calendar and had a king person in it!

DD1 got a playmobil princess, which she was ridiculously excited about.

DD2 got the playmobil tree with 2 squirrels! She was a bit non-plussed, so the squirrels have now been joined by Peppa Pig and George to keep them company. I deliberately fiddled with the calendar so she gets santa tomorrow!

KatoPotatoHoHo · 01/12/2012 22:52

That's a good idea, I'm not sure DS is going to be thrilled by some letters for his postbox in his sparse cardboard diorama!

difficultpickle · 01/12/2012 22:53

Playmobil post office calendar here. Today a post box. Ds placed it next to the footsteps in the snow on the calendar backdrop. According to ds the footsteps in the snow are Santa's.

Hello all, sorry late posting today, as I've been away overight with Norman the Foreman! .

Today I had some sweets (0 points) and ds had a gingerbread house (1 point). In the Playmo one he had a crown and scroll of paper for the kingy person.

Ds got a blue glump moshling with a snowy head, very excited about the snowy head!
Dd got a white tiny basket. Disappointing, but choc got her over it :o

HappyTurquoise · 02/12/2012 20:06

Your Ds got a blue glump moshling with a snowy head? you can get blue glumps by moshling? That sounds painful. (yes, I have no inkling of what you're on about! )

MonsterBookOfTinsel · 02/12/2012 20:36

Haha Happy :o
Nor did I 6 months ago, ds now has a book with all the names in

bedmonster · 02/12/2012 21:47

Me too Santas
I was coming on here to boast about my wonderful present and you got here first! I have one every year (well, for the last 3!) and I love love love it!

Taffeta · 02/12/2012 21:54

I shall regularly check into this thread so you can tell me what all DD's moshlings are Ty

DS got a Lindt chocolate square with Mary on

difficultpickle · 02/12/2012 22:01

We got letters today. Ds posted them in the post box and then spent a considerable amount of time trying to retrieve them out of the post box.

peachypips · 02/12/2012 22:02

Playmobil PO people - we had a post box on the first day but it doesn't open- did yours?? If so, where and how??!!

difficultpickle · 02/12/2012 22:15

Post box definitely doesn't open. Ds won't be putting the letters back in now he managed to get them out, it took him ages.

SnowMuchToBits · 02/12/2012 22:18

We had a Playmo PO last year - but can't remember about the letters. Really, Norman the foreman was just so pleased to get a Christmas tree, we did't care too much about posting letters........

Morning Snowmuch :)

we got a tree and a squirrel while I was away.

It's pretty.

Nagoo · 03/12/2012 07:36

I have looked it up, it says you can open the post box by pushing at either side, downwards.

I'm not looking at one, so I can't say if this is true?

SnowMuchToBits · 03/12/2012 07:39

I'll go and find our post box later and investigate....

Today ds had a rocking horse (1 point) and I had a tree, but it wasn't a Christmas tree, it was a sort of ornamental lemon tree in a pot. Ds allowed me one point, as I had guessed tree for today but had intended it to be a Christmas tree.....

In the Playmo calendar we had a golden cloak for the kingy person.

The postbox does open, it is like a drawer so you just push the middle of teh postbox through.

A sack for dd and a christmas tree for ds1.

SummerRain · 03/12/2012 09:28

Ahh... We were wondering about the postbox opening, ds2 has been shaking the letters out the top!

Dds turn this morning and it was a bag for the post.

peachypips · 03/12/2012 09:38

You lot are bloody marvellous. Just opened my PB!! It is indeed like a drawer. Thank you nagoo for looking it up!!

SnowMuchToBits · 03/12/2012 09:59

Ah yes, I remember now, it pushes open! Norman is thinking about putting his Christmas tree up outside his portakabin soon. Maybe we could get the postbox out too, so he can post his Christmas cards!

Hello! Oliver the archaeologist now has an Indiana Jones hat, some binoculars, a map and a GPS. DS is EXTREMELY pleased with him.

Princess Christabelle has a crown and a fan and today she got a dressing table - she also spent the night in Oliver's cardboard tent - not sure what her prince will have to say about that when he turns up!

SnowMuchToBits · 03/12/2012 15:37

Shocking behaviour from Princess Christabelle I'd say!

Today ds had a toy car (no points) and I had some teddy bears (1 point). Shame the teddy bears couldn't have waited until tomorrow though, as I had guessed them for then!

In the Playmo one we had an owl on a stand. Norman has been having a conversation with it...

Indith · 04/12/2012 09:56

A star for the christmas tree and an angel. The angel's hald is too big so it keeps slipping .

Tikkabillajive · 04/12/2012 11:17

Great excitement this morning as Oliver the archaeologist now has a motorbike!
