What it is is beautiful – Lego ad from 1981

This vintage Lego ad is as trendy now as it was in 1981, with children being children; In one picture Lego has captured exactly what’s fashion forward now as much as then; inventive, playful and real children. What it is is nothing more than beautiful!

Or do it the true Scandinavian way; with a home made Advent Calendar! That’s what we do every year. I’ll start to buy little things, treats and toys, here and there early November. I’ll wrap them in and label them with a number 1 – 24. Sometimes the grandparents help out by donating a few finds too.
Our Advent Calendar is made with one Santa in each end to fasten on the wall and a thread filled with 24 wooden pegs. As the days goes empty pegs is filled up again with all the decorative Christmas cards we receive.

Hope you’ll find a Advent Calendar that you and your child can enjoy. Remember there is less than a month left before it needs to be sorted, best of luck!
