Every 2024 LEGO Advent Calendar Door Opening - Day 17

[@garyphillips3406]

Mrs Claus not getting the bonus point is a bit rich.

[@albundy9918]

It's just lame from Jeremy to do that.

[@smb-c3po]

Maybe if she was in the Hurry Potter advent calendar she would have.

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

My thinking was that this was a literal "Christmas" tree and Mrs. Claus did not make the same connection. Christmas trees also have a longer history and predate the popular notion of Mrs. Claus by centuries. There are many sources citing that Christmas trees were part of festivities in the 16th century, but modern popularity was spurred by Queen Victoria of the UK in 1840 when Prince Albert introduced the tradition from Germany. The wife of Santa Claus is first mentioned in the short story "A Christmas Legend" (1849), by James Rees, a Philadelphia-based Christian missionary. By either account, the Christmas Tree seems to be the longest established of the two festive traditions, but notwithstanding, Mrs. H was equally upset by my snubbing of Mrs. Claus for the festive bonus point and suggested I make it right on Christmas Eve to get back on the nice list.

[@smb-c3po]

@jeremyherbertofficial You would've given her the bonus points if she had been in the Harry Potter advent calendar.

[@nkmhorton]

I agree 😢!

[@leondore]

How is a nearly undecorated tree more festive than Santa‘s literal wife 😭 What has City done to you, my dearest Jeremy

OK, so here's the official response, and given the backlash, I will make it good. My thinking was that this was a literal "Christmas" tree and Mrs. Claus did not make the same connection.

@@jeremyherbertofficial I predict they may add a Ninjago advent calendar and/or Batman advent calendar next year, just try not to be too biased towards the Harry Potter one.

[@leondore]

@@jeremyherbertofficial I feel honoured to have received the official response! I do understand your reasoning a lot more now! However, considering the contents of each calendar are not only judged for their meaning but also the value they provide as LEGO gifts, I think a quite unique (exclusive) minifigure with some great printing beats a quite bare bones "Christmas" tree that barely features any decoration to turn it from a regular tree into said "Christmas" tree. I hope that makes sense

[@ivi_bit]

City got robbed not once, but twice today, be ready to find only coal inside all your LEGO boxes not just for christmas, but until the next

[@albundy9918]

Mrs Claus is more festive and rare than an ordinary Christmas tree we get anyway 1 or even 2 (in an unimaginative advent calendar !!!) each year ! Jeremy your hate & fear of City this year must be huge !

So I did think this through ... My thinking was that this was a literal "Christmas" tree and Mrs. Claus did not make the same connection.

[@albundy9918]

@@jeremyherbertofficial This is not about which gift is older, it's about which one is better. Second best today would be the Star Wars Christmas sweater and still not the boring not so well made whatever tree. I bet if ever Harry Potter would have such great gifts (which he NEVER has), the tree will be nothing for you with all that history you wrote above. But because it's Star Wars and City you turn a blind eye on them. On Christmas Eve you usually mock Santa Claus from City for being too repetitive (you give him second to last place or even worse), just like today's tree was. I'm telling you Jeremy it's like you're kinda of a woke progressive who doesn't respect Christmas Holidays enough, and I don't mean by only today's choice but many more in the past.

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

@@albundy9918 festive gift is based on festive feel and not quality of the gift. Mrs. Claus is not a traditional part of my Christmas and is way less of a Christmas tradition than decorating a home with a tree. You see Santa all the time and you see trees, but Mrs. Claus is barely ever looked at as a beloved Christmas tradition.

[@michaelmunns]

Definitely snow I think.

[@facelessman265]

i get picking luke over Miss Clause for First but she should have gotten the Bonus Point as clearly more festive than a tree

[@albundy9918]

Right !

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

I would ask, do you have a Christmas tree? It's an incredibly festive tradition and the point is a festive bonus point, not in any way a reflection of the quality of the gift. Mrs. Claus very rarely shows up in any of our festive traditions.

[@lynthepenguin8400]

And on Day 24 the HP door has literally nothing behind it but gets the 7 (6 + 1) points as it represents the nihilistic feeling that often happens on Christmas Day when you realise that Jeremy can no longer give HP all the points.

[@Kingct16]

Star Wars MVP perfomance

[@martino087]

Yeah, you definitely deserve to go on the naughty list for giving that bonus point to Disney 😉 That tree is just bland, and Mrs. Claus is frigging Mrs. Claus (how can you get more festive than being the wife of Santa Claus?) and looks amazing and comes with a nice accessory! She could have been gift of the day too, but I understand it’s difficult competing with Luke Skywalker in a Christmas sweater.

[@albundy9918]

Pure hate for Lego City and a lot of indifference for the Christmas Holiday, that's it !

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

I would argue, it's a CHRISTMAS tree and Mrs. Claus was nowhere to be seen until around 1849 but I know I lost this one today. I'll make it good in due course.

[@AmbikaDevi]

At least there are stockings Spidey. Hogwarts express looks like it is on the baseplate for a tree. Kind of cute but not rising to the level of yesterday's gift from Potter. The baking table is nice. The Maniacal Munchkins can hide weapons in the pies and cakes they create! The Disney tree reminds me of one from a past Potter calendar. Wait, what?! Another singing minifigure? At least that is what I thought at first. Definitely Mrs Claus, way to go City! Really nice Luke! I'm loving his jumper! I would have given Luke the festive point but I get it Mrs Claus. Fair judging today Jeremy well done!

[@worldsheaviestjamband93]

[@Redeemedfatherof2]

Sad that Mrs. Claus would've got first place if it was any of the other days, Luke is a spoil sport...

[@dbbricks929]

Going to be a tough choice for minifigure of the year this year! Some cracking entries this year! 6 points - Star Wars. Superb figure, fun take on a popular character whilst still retaining the Star Wars theming. 5 points - City. So many days this would have won on, just unfortunate that Mrs. Claus met her match today! 4 points - Friends. Really nice little scene, loads of different items depicted in one small gift. 3 points - Disney. I really like how the bottom half of the tree is done, so much better than HP's attempt a while back. No colourful lights or tinsel, though. 2 points - Marvel. As a fireplace goes, it's not the worst. No idea how it fits in to the rest of the calendar, though! 1 point - Harry Potter. If we're laying into City's efforts at microsale toys, then Harry Potter has to get the same treatment. Except this is much worse than most of City's! Festive Bonus Point - City. Some stiff competition today, but I don't think Santa would be happy if I said his wife wasn't festive! Scores - City 74, Disney 65, Harry Potter 63, Star Wars 61, Friends 56, Marvel 55. City running away with it again after off days from Harry Potter and Disney, and Star Wars closing right back up to the podium places. But will they be able to close that gap up again with one of City's main minifigures now out of the way?

[@Starman3434-xz5ns]

I have the Lego Harry Potter advent calendar this year. Personally i didn't think the Hogwarts Express gift was very good myself. It was a tough choice between Luke and Mrs. Clause, they are both such good minifigures.

LEGO City did very well with Mrs Claus. She is a beautiful minifigure. Gift of the day for me! I did love LEGO Friends giving us a cute baking station! They get 2nd place for me. Meh, Luke is okay but not my taste. They get 3rd place. Disney's tree is very dull compared to other festive trees from past years! Everything else was LAAAME.

Say what you want, I think the Spider-Man calendar is great! Good mini-figs and good builds the other days. Harry Potter gifts seem repetitive (statues and tables), and Star Wars builds are very similar from year to year. If Spidey's computer desk from day 16 had shown up in Harry Potter as a "Slitherin Desk", it would have scored higher. Let's go, Spidey!

Watched these vids for years - but this year I find the "love" the SW & HP calendars receive to be a bit much. Also the "if its a minifig then it's a good day" theme is wearing thin. Remember advent calendars are about more than a fig or two, when i was young it was a pic behind a door or some such festive thing. Also to not give Mrs Claus 6 + 1 yesterday was a travesty. All exclusive bar head, beaten by a SW jumper.. Also hope you'll show the same love for other X-Mas trees in the remaining calendars.
