Happy holidays, dear calendar fans! Before we dig into today’s boxes, let’s start with a little LEGO advent history.

Clikits! How far we’ve come. This year we have Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-Man!

December 13th! Here in Sweden, today is Lucia, a celebration of songs and lights to mark the darkest day of winter.
