Yes, it’s that time of year again. A bit slow with the post here to track, but the best advent calendar is back!
Raisins,Riesen, Joke
30th November hall
My Heather knows me so we get the important little box of raisins, a Riesen, and a joke! What do monkeys sing at Christmas? Jungle Bells, Jungle Bells!
Rocher And Flip
The coin is to decide between one more chapter or bed!
A ferrero Rocher (scoffed) and a little coin to flip—one more chapter or bedtime! The joke is decent: What do you call a group of chess players bragging about their games in a hotel lobby at Christmas? Chess nuts boasting in an open foyet!
Flippy Squishy Elf
And another chocolate
Another sweet and a sticky, flippy elf (not tried out yet) Who delivers presents to baby sharks at Christmas? Santa Jaws
Spaceman!
A minifig version of the spaceman
Oh, this is a good one. A Lego minifig space person, certainly reminiscent of the brick built one.
And here it is with big brother to prove it:
With Big Brother
And here it is with the brick built model
What do you sing at a snowman’s birthday party? Freeze a jolly good fella!
Puzzle
Got it apart, can’t get it back together!
It’s a puzzle! The metal bits originally surrounded the marble. I managed to get it out the middle, but don’t know how, so now can’t get it back together! Why can’t Christmas trees knit? Because they always drop their needles
Springy Santa!
And a Riesen
Springy Santa (who seems a bit of a premature springer), and a Reisen Why is it harder to buy Advent calendars these days? Because their days are numbered
Trust Me
I’m an engineer
More sweets and a “Trust me I’m an engineer” pin badge! Wonder how many meetings I can get away wearing that to? Not too sure about the joke though: Why was Santa cross with the presenters of Channel 4’s Countdown? Because Susie Dent-ed his slay
Bottle Holder
Clip onto bag
It’s a clip on thing to attach a bottle to a bag (which has been added to the range of clip on things on my bag). Why were the burglars covered in decorations and lights? They’d been “robbin” round the Christmas tree
With My Name!
Bottle opener and raisens
More raisins and a keyring bottle opener with my name on it! What is the best music to play when preparing Christmas presents? “Wrap” music
Balls
Sticky and yummy
Squishy balls and editable ball (already eaten). The yellow one sticks better. And a decent joke: How do romantic frogs celebrate Christmas? They kiss under the Mistletoad!
Sticky Snowman
And a sweet
Sticky tumbling snowman to match the elf. And a sweet. Didn’t think much of today’s joke: What does the heavenly host sing in the barbers? Hark the hairy angel
Tiny Cards
And a purple one
The tiniest pack of playing cards! And a purple quality street. Didn’t think the joke was good: How many letters did the alphabet have when Jesus was born? 23 — the angel said “No L”, and that was before you and I were born
Boing
Springy penguin
A springy penguin (much more compliant that the earlier Mrs Claus. And another Riesen What do you call Father Christmas when he stops moving? Santa Pause
Whistle
And quality street
Christmas whistle (something of a tradition) and another quality sweet Why do German children give generously at Christmas? Because German children are always kinder!
A Little Physical Puzzle
And sweet
A little get the balls into the holes game of frustration (Heather says she’s done it—twice!), and a Riesen What do you call Father Christmas when he’s on the beach? Santa Claws!
Spinning Top
And more raisins
Raisins and another tradition in a little spinning top How does Father Christmas clean his sleigh? With Santatiser!
Space Baby!
A baby in space
Space baby! Space baby. Lives in space. Space baby! What do penguins eat for breakfast on Christmas day? Snowflakes!
Three Balls
Should only eat one of them
Three little balls. Should really only eat one of them though. Why did Alice buy her son a refrigerator for Christmas? She wanted to see his face light up when he opened it!
Socially Awkward
In the corner, eating raisins
A “Socially Awkward” pin badge (because I am), and some raisins How does “Christmas Day” end? With a “y”!
Sweets
Ferrero and Riesen
Sweeties day, with a Ferrero and Riesen. The joke’s a bit long: What did the teacher say when Rudolph didn’t revise for his test on the Civil War? You’ll go down in history!
Puzzling
Linked ring maze
A puzzling interlocked ring maze (which I parted and reattached more through luck than anything), and a sweet. Joke is a bit rubbish: How did Mary and Joseph get Jesus weighted in the stable? The had a weigh in a manger!!
Sweeties!
Yum
Sweeties! (The joke is wrong—it should be scarecrow) Why did the farmer get a Christmas bonus? He was outstanding in his field!
I Did It!
Finally managed one
A little ball bearing puzzle I actually managed! And a sweetie. What did the salt say to the pepper on Christmas Day? Season’s greetings!
It’s a little Lego bar! The joke is rubbish though: Why was the Christmas star so popular? Because it go the twinkle of approval from everyone!
More sweeties, and a slightly better joke What do actors sing at Christmastime? “There’s no business like snow-business”!
Oops, nearly forgot to add the last day (of course there’s a 25th!). Some more little raisins, some pen holding paper clips and a really useful tool for bellybutton fluffDoctor, Doctor, I keep thinking I’m invisible. “Who said that?”!
Last Day
Useful tools
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
