Welcome to Day Seven of My Lego Christmas Countdown

As I sit here with my Christmas music playing in the background, I'm excited to share today's update with you all. The atmosphere is lively, and I can already get a tan just sitting here - it's quite warm! But don't worry, I'm not here to soak up the sun; I'm here to dive into another fantastic building in my Lego Christmas countdown.

Yesterday was a long day, but many of you enjoyed the video with Waa Mama, so thank you for that. Today, we're focusing on another amazing build. As always, I wish there were more mini-figures available, especially Santa Claus, who's probably one of the last ones left. But I'm sure we'll get some soon! Speaking of which, this particular building has a lot to offer - let's put that over here and see what other surprises it holds.

As I work on today's build, I have to ask: How's your weekend going? Any exciting plans or interesting things happening between yesterday and today? Well, I'm excited to share my own adventures with you. And if you haven't signed up for my Christmas collaboration video yet, now's the perfect time! Just head over to the link below, and you'll be entered into a fun contest.

Before we get started on building, let me remind you that there are some essential guidelines to keep in mind. Please make sure your video is shot in wide screen format - anything else would ruin the experience for everyone. And, of course, consistency and professionalism are key. With those rules in mind, let's begin our adventure!

As we work on this building, I have to admit it's quite challenging due to the tiny pieces involved. But that's what makes it exciting! Okay, I think I've got a working window now - isn't that cool? This build has some amazing details, like snow that actually fits together in an awesome way. It's truly creative on Lego's part.

One thing I'm still puzzled about is the roof of this building. How does it work with the existing pieces? And then there's another hidden detail behind it - a green piece that might be grass or something else entirely! You know what they say: "You can't always see what you're getting, but sometimes it turns out to be exactly what you needed." I'm loving this build!

As we wrap up today's update, I'd like to give a shout-out to Marlene for reaching out last night. We were stumped about the pieces used on yesterday's build, but now we know - they're snow! And isn't it great how Lego builds these tiny details so perfectly? That roof really does look cool.

Now that we've figured everything out, let's talk about this one more thing: grapes or green cherries? Honestly, I'm assuming they're grapes - but which is better anyway? In any case, this little detail adds a lot of fun to our build. It makes me feel like it could be anything, whether it's just sitting there quietly or breaking down a bed - "Toco" indeed!

While we've got all the details sorted out for now, I want to remind you that Lego Christmas is full of surprises. This advent calendar has some incredible pieces and themes hidden inside it. So, while walking through City Street in Lego, remember to keep an eye on the windows because there might be a special treat waiting just for you.

That's all for today - thanks so much for joining me on this Lego adventure! Keep your fingers crossed that we'll get even more mini-figures before Christmas Day and, of course, who knows when or if it will actually snow outside? Until next time, happy building, and let me know in the comments: What's your favorite part about the current build so far?

snow shout out to Marlene she actually emailed me last night CU my mom and I weren't sure what these pieces were on yesterday's pieces or on um yesterday's build and apparently it's snow which does make sense I don't know why I didn't think of that and I just screwed that up the roof goes on first and then the snow is kind of sitting on the roof which is pretty cool very creative on Lego's part and and this goes behind here I don't know if it attaches there's no there's no piece to attach it I guess you just put it side by side excuse me when sitting on the shelf now this is hidden behind you you can't even see the guide but I'm assuming you can just do this like the green there we go I think I guess that's grass maybe and this can kind of just sit there and the cherries I guess are

they're grapes on here first then put that on there you go it's all about Char and air with this one if it goes on there we go it's very tight piece tight tight tight Toco breaking bed and we have this a little cup which we can put right here all right that's good enough for now I'll perfect this after I finish this video but there you go guys kind of like a window unit with things behind it so I guess when you're walking by in the City Lego City cuz don't forget this is a Lego City Advent calendar which is pretty cool so while you're walking down the street of the city you can look in the
