Advent

Herself speaks.

I have an Advent calendar this year, for the first time ever. It is a Harry Potter Lego Advent calendar, and it is MAGNIFICENT.

Every day has a new little happiness inside. Some of the days, it's been a challenge to put together the items (see, e.g., Day 4, which was the large snow-covered Christmas tree), because I am not-visually-inclined-to-the-point-of-almost-being-visually-challenged when it comes to rudimentary Lego assembly directions. I persevere, though, and then have the added satisfaction of successfully assembling a wee little figurine. 

I cannot express how delighted I am with this. HUZZAH.
