Each year, I look for Advent Calendars on the lead up to Christmas, a tradition that we started when my children were young.
Here is the Matchbox edition for this year, containing vehicles etc which are behind numbers on the box, Push the number and behind it find a model of figure starting December 2nd. Here are the highlights. I will show the vehicles in more detail in next posts.
The front folds down. I have set up vehicles, figures on the base.
The figures, all by Matchbox in approx. 1/64 scale.
Santa's 1956 Powell Sports Pickup has broken down and needs a reindeer tow.

When I was a kid in Catholic school we had Advent Calendars also but they were all religious themed.
I've never seen one like that. I sure as heck would loved to have that when I was in school.
