LEGO Santa Claus is coming to town, and doesn’t he look a treat with his pink glowing cheeks, magnificent fluffy beard and cheery smiling face. Several points of articulation make this brick-built Father Christmas by DOGOD Brick Design quite poseable.

But my absolute favourite part of this rendition of jolly Saint Nick would have to be the compartment within his back, where minifig Santa can enjoy a hot mug of cocoa by his Christmas tree in front of a roaring fire with his cat.

Here “down under” in Middle Zealand Santa generally sports surf shorts, flip-flops and a surfboard. So seeing Christmas with snow, lights, warm fires and ugly sweaters always all seems a little odd when it’s in middle of summer and we’d rather have a BBQ lunch and find a comfy spot under a shady tree with a cooler.

All of that said, there is nothing like seeing the jolly fat man in the fluffy red suit with a stack of presents and a tree with lights to get us in the mood for Christmas. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing for Christmas this year, I hope you are as happy and comfortable as this little scene.
