Niku Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 One hell of a celebration with some Santa "special" fireworks. Quote

BEAVeR Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 We here in Belgium (and the Netherlands) are the favourite countries of Saint Nicholas. Why? Because here he already comes on December 6th! He also shows up at Christmas of course, as the Santa everybody knows. But on December 6th, Sinterklaas is the true Saint Nicholas, in episcopal attire and complete with his staff. He also gives toys, chocolate figures, marzipan, small biscuits in letter shapes and notably also chocolate coins and mandarins and drops them into children's shoes. These two symbols of wealth harken back to the most inspiring of Saint Nicholas' deeds which made him a saint. The story goes that a poor widow with three daughters was at the brink of having to sell his daughters into slavery when Saint Nicholas passed by. He made a treasure appear in their shoes, by which they never had to worry about gettings sold into slavery again. I love the story, as it shows Saint Nicholas' sensibility for the problems of people around him, even when they kept it behind closed doors and had no relationship whatsoever with the saint. Sinterklaas is a great reminder to keep those less fortunate than us in mind in these cold days, while we only wonder what Santa Claus will bring to us... So I wish you all a very happy Christmas, inspired by the generosity of Sinterklaas. And if Sinterklaas' generosity isn't cutting it for you, then just look at the generous saint within our midst, CopMike! Quote

Or2Me2 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Well... there must be a logical explanation as to why a big, jolly old man can keep up with all the wishes of children (and children-at-heart) around the world. Thanks again to Eurobricks and CopMike for keeping this tradition alive! 20181129_083604 by Orthobotrex, on Flickr Edited November 29, 2018 by Or2Me2 Quote
TheWarden Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I started on this before I heard the news - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hillenburg I've enjoyed Rocko and Spongebob and I think a lot of people did too. Maybe you will like "Santasquid Comes to Bikini Bottom!" Santa comes to Bikini Bottom by James Warden, on Flickr Quote
erined5 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Thanks CopMike for hosting the raffle again this year! Quote

There is a great variety of entries this year. And Christmas spirit already with SantaMike giving more time! Edited November 29, 2018 by MAB Quote
r2-d2-96 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 This is how Santa look like in Chima World. :) Santa Worriz by R2 D2, on Flickr I heard about this ruffle only yesterday, so I had only three days left to participate, but I have time and opportunity to take a photo only today and only within an hour (I still use daylight for photo), and I had almost no idea, than I imagined this scene with Worriz. Well, it is because I like werewolves really much... ;) Thanks to my friend BaraSH for reminding me about this topic, and to CopMike for organizing this event again! Merry Christmas for everyone!

Maple Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) He's making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out whose naughty or nice... and if you're naughty he's putting on his cyborg suit.... Hopefully I'm not too late as I took the picture weeks ago with our first snow storm and forgot until today. Edited November 29, 2018 by Maple Quote

Emma Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Yay, I remembered to get an entry in this year! Lego has been on the back burner for a bit, but I was able to grab a handful of pieces this morning and put together this little guy on the carpool ride into work, and now he will decorate my desk for the season :) Thank you CopMike for running this once again and happy holidays everyone!

latenightguy Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Since Into the Spider-Verse is coming out, here's Spider-Claus of Earth-1225 and the Web Slinger of Earth-31913 (at Hogwarts apparently)! With an inter-dimensional sleigh, they're spreading Christmas cheer across the Multiverse. Thank you once again CopMike! I am happy to see the tradition still going! Quote
Darkdragon Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Doggy Santa bringing me lots of Lego sets Quote
Skalldyr Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 WOW there are so many super creative and beautiful builds in here! I am a little speachless. As every year it is great fun seeing all the amazing ideas people come up with. Since I am in a little hurry and just moved all my LEGO is still packed in boxes... so I just threw together a small build with an old wooden LEGO-Box. Quote
Agent Kallus Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) @Holodoc Is this better? Edited November 29, 2018 by Agent Kallus Quote
The Cobra Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 With so many good children around the world, every Santa has his/her hands busy with letters, while presents are automatically (and carefully) packaged. Quote
petamas Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I'm a big fan of Lego's lime-skinned alien population (Alien Conquest, Series 3 Space Alien, etc.), so naturally, I think Santa should be a lime-skinned alien! Thank you, @CopMike, for organizing this raffle every year! Disclaimer: @kristofpanna is my girlfriend, and she asked me to take a picture of her entry, that's why our posts share the same background. Please do not disqualify us! Quote
