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!

at empty MrMen calendar! I hope the magnets appear later. Am pleased you got your weapons holder together, Penfold - my ds was quite pleased with the knight.
Teddy bears are always nice in an advent calendar I think. Am a bit 
at your veg Goo. Although one year I had an advent calendar which contained an unusually large number of birds....

We got an elf today. Left ds2 playing with it abd c asd b aback in to find he'd set the scene up so the elf was pointing a flute at Santa... Had to explain the difference ee between a flute and a gun and that the elf would probably lose his job for shooting Santa
Merry Christmas

Ds had some holly today (1 point) and I had a snowman (1 point). In the Playmo calendar we had a shield and flag for the first knight. The second knight is a bit pissed off that the first knight has armour and weapons and a shield and flag and a horse, while he has nothing! The kingy person has had to cheer him up by giving him a goblet of wine...

The Polly Pocket calender is still impressing me. It's clearly aimed at girls, but so far, only one of the doll's outfits have been pink. The rest are red, green and white.
The Lego Friends calender isn't very exciting - a pink and turquoise chair seat for the dog (the one with the bow in its hair).
Ds was very pleased with the pirate playmobil figure he found in his calender pocket this morning. It's one that glows in the dark

SnowMuch, me and The Boy are also a bit at the lack of the 2nd knight's armour, specially as it is going to be super-duper shiny. The Boy opened the calendar, looked at the bag, said "I wanted the armour", threw the bag aside and said "Can I open yours Mummy" (not spoiled, honest!)
I asked The Boy what the King had in his goblet and he said without hesitation "Wine". He is 3.

Shame I never had any dds, LadyM, the Polly Pocket sounds good!
Your ds will go far, Penfold!

I am feeling like bah humbug 
today. Both advent calenders had a 'handbag' - that's fine for 7 euro Polly calender- but that's not what you would expect from a 24 euro Lego calender.

I had another tree (no points) and ds had a snowman decoration (1 point). In the Playmo one we had some horsy armour.
