Santa’s not-so-little helpers
Carl Merriam built several large-scale pieces from LEGO for his local department store’s Christmas window. If you look closely, you can see just how big these elves are by comparing them to the R2-D2 that the blue elf is working on.
If you’re in the Fresno, California area, you can see these in person at the River Park Macy’s
Via The Living Brick.
This snowman won’t melt
It’s already Christmas in much of the world, so let’s kick off our series of merry posts with this mustachioed snowman by Josip Špika.
A minifig Christmas
If you remember some of the old Lego holiday catalogs, you may recall a few having covers that depict minifigs from different themes coming together to celebrate the holidays. I built this concept in a scene that features a gingerbread house and a Christmas tree. How many different themes are represented?
Countdown to Christmas in Santa’s Workshop
Brad Bergman made a full size window display of an advent calendar. Each of the 24 room contains a vignette and represents a day of December leading up to Christmas. Although you can already see the rooms revealed, Brad is posting detail shots of each vignette daily along with a description. You can follow the postings on his Flickr photostream.
Thanks for the tip Dylan!
Christmas window
It’s amazing what can be done with cheese slopes, and Katie Walker knows that better than most of us when it comes to creating designs and patterns. Her latest Christmas window is simply a delight, just in time for the holidays.

Lego ornaments, buy or build your own!
Thinking about putting up your Christmas tree soon? Here are two ideas to decorate it with Lego ornaments that you can buy or build. The first involves building small models that fit inside Lego’s holiday ornaments. They’re fun to make and offers a unique challenge of balancing size and detail on a micro creation. Here are 6 that I made, which you can buy from Creations for Charity.
Chris McVeigh (powerpig) takes a more traditional approach by building ornaments based on the Lowell sphere. You can use different colored bricks to make variations. Instructions are on Chris’ blog, or you can buy the three that he has kindly donated to Creations for Charity.
Happy Halloween 2010!
Kenny Louie’s minifigs carved this adorable memorial to the classic smiley head. Awesome idea…why didn’t I think of this?

Welcome to Dracula’s castle
Mark Kelso (Amhakia) shares with us his vision of Dracula’s castle inspired by the classic black and white horror films. One of the standout features of this shot has got to be the visible rays of light piercing through the window. The interior is disheveled without being messy. On first glance, you may think it is simply a shot of Dracula in his castle, and that is indeed the magic of this creation! Look closer, take your time and see the details, the finishings and the staging. There is no doubt the clever meticulous attention to detail within this build!
