Click to ENLARGE. The two NEW ‘Lego Advent’ calendars for this year — the 2021 edition on left, the 2000 (yes Y2K) edition on right.

Front & back views of the 2021 & 2000 boxes. The older Lego advents tend to be ‘better’.

The wooden, perpetual advent calendar from last year. This year I filled the 24 wooden drawers with an assortment of rocks & crystals (that I got (of course) from Amazon).
5 shelf unit, THIS year, to hold all the Advent calendars — & she wasn’t 100% sure that she would get any new ones, though (I knew) she was hoping she would. SHE DID (of course).

Plus the two Lego Advents which were HANGING decorations for a Christmas tree.

Yes, Teischan (now 15) & I are BOTH big into Advent calendars — especially Lego Advent calendars. I satisfy my fondness for advent calendars, vicariously, by getting them for her (& a nephew). Teischan has had Lego Advents since she was about 5. As of last year I am trying to make up for the early years she missed by buying OLDER Lego calendars (unopened) on eBay. Last year I got her 2006 (the year of her birth) & 1998 — that being the first Lego calendar to have been produced.

This year I looked at 1999 but it didn’t look that great. 2000 was better, so I got that.

Yes, I am still 4 short. Ideally she should have 15 Legos to match her 15 years, or 16 next year. This year I had a lot going on last month with the new car, new PC & new TV. So, I was quite distracted. Maybe after the holidays I will scour eBay to see what I can get.

But, for now we are all set. She has 3 calendars to open each day this year.

As with last year we are through with chocolate advent calendars. I still kind of miss those — NOT that I ever ate the chocolates.
