Faint stirrings of a holiday spirit

[hummingwolf]

Well, I didn't think there were enough green pieces to do it, but somehow I managed: Today I made and decorated a little LEGO Christmas tree. Hmm... all my little LEGO people appear to be male. Yet if I'm creative, there may be a way to put pieces together for a Nativity scene anyway...

In other news, you'll have to look for other news elsewhere as today was yet another day I didn't leave the house. Not as much coughing as yesterday, so that's a plus.

There is a Lego store in Tyson's Corner mall. I don't intend to visit there again until the 23rd or 24th, but if I remember I'll see if they have female Lego people.

Oh, they certainly should have female Lego people. I know there are sets with generic Lego women as well as sets with folks like Princess Leia and Hermione Grainger. But somehow there are no female Lego people anywhere in my collection, which is a shame.

i'm glad you had fun with your legos!

Me too! This is the first time I've decorated a Christmas tree in years.

Heh. I don't know if I'm actually going to try a Nativity scene, but I'm certainly going to think about it for a while!

Yay for your Lego tree!

I didn't mention some of the details of my creation. Since I don't have a Lego angel or star to put on top, there's a Lego parrot there instead. And down at the base of the tree waiting for some presents is a little Lego rat!

LEGO RAT! So cool.

I just nipped over to eBay and bought some to display here. They called them "rats," too, not just "mice."

Hooray! I've got two little grey rats (they came with a set that was deeply discounted, so I got two). If I ever do a Nativity scene, animals must include rats, parrots, a dragon, and a dinosaur. Strangely, I have no donkeys.

Good old Lego!

It's always been my favorite toy!
