We continue to be gifted with more interior design elements. Today we get a Christmas-colored end table with a nice bubble lamp and a coffee table book. That book is massive, even by minidoll standards but there’s no other book-type of element so we’re stuck. I think it’s a holdover from the Belleville days and it was used extensively in the Harry Potter line for spellbooks and tomes.

I’m sort of enjoying collecting all of these little builds. What else can we fill our imaginary house with from tomorrow’s build? I can’t wait to find out.

Well that’s one way to continue with the interior design meta theme we have going on here: by including some other household construct. In this case, we have a fireplace. Probably one of the more elaborate builds thus far, but that’s not saying much considering how many snoozer days we’ve had so far. So it’s nice to actually build something.

The cups were obvious. The cake… not so much. The muffin? Complete guess. I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t have star-shaped foods. It could be some sort of fancy coaster for one of the cups. And the cake? Could be a giant wheel of brie garnished with a slice of pink grapefruit. I don’t know. This is just another one of those phone in days.

I think we’re building a kitchen.

Stove. Counter. Now a sink. And you know, there’s a window. A table. Chairs. Is this a holiday advent calendar or an interior design advent calendar?

I sound like I’m complaining, but I assure you I am not. While there is an inherent relationship between the days as all being part of an advent calendar experience, it is nice to get builds that are interconnected in a more practical way. Unless we start getting more appliances like a refridgerator, this may be the end of the kitchen. We’ll just have to wait and see what the rest of the days bring us.

I’m kind of phoning this one in. Much like the Kitchen Accessories from Day 10, for today you get a bunch of tiny food items. You get two carrots, two chicken legs, two glasses, and what I can only assume are two muffins with green frosting. It just feels like LEGO didn’t put much effort into today. And I’m not using that reason as a way to excuse my lowered journalistic standards for today’s post, but as uninspiring today’s build was, I, too, am uninspired to find the silver lining. The amount of clutter generated by Days 10 and 14 is just too much to handle.

It’s either cheese or butter, but I prefer to think of it as a wedge of cheddar being worshipped by the local primitives, Salt and Pepper, representatives of their respective Seasoning clans. And nothing screams holiday more than cheese in a bell jar. I suppose that could be said about some of the other items from the previous days though. At least it matches up nicely with the stove from yesterday extending the kitchen vignette a bit more. All this cheese talk is making me hungry now.

This is exactly the same as the Fiery Wreath from Day 9, and by exactly the same I mean they are all mysterious objects. I only called them Apple Pancakes because that’s what the two big red things look like. That little pot has a two 1×1 red round plates stacked one on top of the other. Could be spaghetti sauce in the pot? And maybe the two apple pancakes are actually pasta dishes drowning in marinara sauce garnished with a little parsley? Yeah, that’s the ticket. That’s what they’ll be and if anyone asks, they’re doing it wrong.
