I am not the first to make a Lego Nativity scene. Others have paved the way for me, in “minifig” scale<\/a> (the ubiquitous smiling Lego men) and in the larger “miniland”<\/a> scale that is used throughout the Legoland<\/a>, and in other scales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have time to present a new character every day throughout December. So I craftily arranged to bring out a few characters each Advent Sunday – starting with one sheep … then a shepherd with some more sheep … then the Wise Men, and finally the Holy Family.

Happy Christmas.<\/p>\n
