Advantages: Playmobil Lasts and Lasts Disadvantages: Not Cheap, Requires Setup
When I was a little person, back in the seventies, Adventcalendars were simple. They were made of cardboard, with a little, fairly predictable picture behind each window. How things change.
This year my parents decided to spoil their Grandchildren, nothing new there, and have bought them both very posh Adventcalendars. Shortie, now aged 5, has a small collection of Playmobil which he adores, so my parents have given him a PlaymobilAdventcalendar.
°**° AdventCalendars, a brief background °**°
"Advent" comes from the Latin word adventus, which means "coming." Advent is the period of time before Christmas. Although Advent itself begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, ttraditional Adventcalendars have windows or doors which are opened each day from December 1st to December 24th, Christmas Eve.

Advantages: So much fun! Looks so cute. Unique and different Disadvantages: Just for girls! Maybe not as Christmas themed as could be
As a nice alternative to chocolate adventcalendars, this year my boyfriend got me a 'Belville Lego Calendar' instead. I secretly wanted the 'Lego AdventCalendar' but since my boyfriend had got that one we couldn't have the same one!
I was quite a big Lego fan when I was younger, and still am! But I am not so familiar with the 'Belville' selection of Lego since it is still quite new.

The calendars are very exciting. They are very thick (around 2 - 2.5 inches), and they are slightly bigger than a normal sized chocolate adventcalendar. The front ...
When I was little we were the envy of our friends as every year, without fail, Dad's childhood German penfriend would send us Chocolate AdventCalendars. At the time the idea hadn't reached the UK, they may be commonplace now but this AdventCalendar goes to show that where preparing for the Festive Season is concerned, a German company like Playmobil still has the edge.
Now excuse the early mention of Christmas, but in my defence if you do want to buy one of these you will need to order early, in my experience if they make it into the shops they are not around for long. In my local "The Entertainer" shop they are snapped up very quickly and long before Christmas, and even online they do sell out suprisingly early or tend to be more highly priced on ebay as the festive season approaches.
Like all the other Playmobiladvent ...
