Warm socks for someone homeless. Good.

And/but ... in the other one ... a vividly chilling etching of ....

Marley's ghost

georgiemum · 07/12/2008 14:44

I think we do. Did it take you 25 minutes to put together and what the hell is that reddish blobby stuff?

santasinmywaistband · 07/12/2008 15:47

It did take ages to put together. DD has said the red thing is a plant! they are rearranging the scene about 3 times a day and this morning I narrowly missed hoovering up a little green bird!

christMAScomesbutonceayear · 08/12/2008 09:01

today -December 8th - fruit (apples,lemon,oranges and what look like dates)

stealthsquiggle · 08/12/2008 11:29

Reddish blobby stuff is mushrooms for some animal or other to eat (the deer were eating ours but now they are eating hay out of the rack).

DS got a mistletoe picker (tree decoration) from his Asterix calendar on Saturday. It looks like a sickle to me, but asterix-freak DS assures me it is a mistletoe picker . DD was delighted to get a chocolate boot from her Milka calendar this morning.

a christmas pud

starbear · 08/12/2008 12:10

santa, How many points is that?

flamesparrow · 08/12/2008 12:23

"Santa tree!!"

The fact that it is from 15th and we weren't actually doing calendar opening is neither here nor there it seems

ThePellyandMe · 08/12/2008 12:33

Anyone out there with the Lego castle advent, what the hell are you meant to do with the thing in it today?

I'm wondering if it's to add to tommorrows or something, DS1, DH and I are very confused.

DS2 has the lego city one and got a tree with a cat on top that I thought was snow

SnowMuchToBits · 08/12/2008 14:28

December 8th

Lego calendar - tree with white cat (same as The Pelly's) I assume that the fireman is going to have to rescue the cat, and that tomorrow there will be a ladder for such purposes!

Ds's calendar - mistletoe (1 point)
My calendar - another santa (for which ds wouldn't let me have a point).

Starbear - the points are for prediciting the correct items in your advent calendar. Ds and I are having a competition, where we guessed what would be in our windows for each day. If you get the correct item on the correct day you get two points. If you get an item you predicted but on the wrong day, you get one point. I was very at ds today, because I had guessed mistletoe for my calendar today. (He had guessed mistletoe for tomorrow!)
