Just when you thought the Olympics were over a couple from Cambridge have given the mascot a festive twist, using Lego, no less!
Remember the one eyed mascot that adorned supermarkets in soft toy and t-shirt form? Sure you do, he was everywhere, his one central eye following you as you shopped. Well, a Cambridgeshire Couple have created a ten foot Santa version of everyone’s favourite mascot, using Lego!
According to the BBC Report the building of a large Lego character is an annual event in this household, and they choose a massive character to build out of the small plastic bricks each year as a sort of festive family activity.
In fact, last year the BBC reported on a giant Lego Dalek made by the same family, using festively coloured red plastic bricks.
We think that getting together and building something as a family is just the most splendid way of getting the Festive juices flowing, and since these large Lego creations take a while to build, they should start feeling the festive spirit from early October.
We do, of course, appreciate that not everyone will have the room to make a giant Lego sculpture, so we asked the fans what sort of things they liked to make at Christmas.
Kate told us: “Food. (It isn’t really Christmas without the family recipe for shortbread-like cookies.)”
Christine told us: “I make my famous English toffee, and butter cut-out cookies. Among some other things.”
Chimp said: “Nut roast and roasted brussels sprouts. My friend Karen makes some nice toffee bars and Mrs Chimp sometimes makes marzipan fruits which are de-lish”
And from the Twittersphere we had the following responses:
