Friends Advent Calendar - Day 18
Posted by MeganL,
We've watched presents go through almost the whole lifecycle process at Santa's workshop - from being made (or hammered, in the duck's case), to being painted, to being wrapped. Yesterday we had two wrapped presents. Does this mean that we'll be following the presents on their journey?
The answer is.....maybe? Today we have a small campfire, two cups, and a tall mug of something. Considering the elves' dietary preferences, I'm choosing to believe that it's hot chocolate (and also because I love hot chocolate).
I like getting more of the cups, but this build is leaving me kind of meh. The parts are nice, but I wish it was more of a build. Unfortunately, it seems like we're on a downward trend when it comes to the size of the daily builds. Not to mention there's no purple!
With the campfire, it does look like we've left Santa's workshop and have ventured outside.

Considering how over-worked and exploited the elves are, I'm choosing to believe it's Jack Daniels, straight up.
Sort of wish they'd used a bigger flame piece. On the other hand, I do love that cup piece, so the more of those I have, the happier I am.
@Zordboy:
Speaking of getting hammered...
I’d lean a bit in the direction that @CCC took, and say they’ve got a carafe or “Irish” coffee. The fact that they’re in the woods by a campfire instead of in the workshop suggests there’s something wrong with them. Maybe one of them wants to be a dentist and the other has a nose that glows red at the most inconvenient times?

Half Jacky, half coffee. Gotta get that caffeine for the never-ending Arctic nights.

"Isn't the tall thing meant to be a jug (half) filled with hot chocolate, so used to fill up the cups at the side.
And maybe the fire is their heating, as Santa refuses to use the central heating."
They're supposed to bring their own fire-wood, as Santa actually can't provide any - he gives presents away, so he doesn't make any profit, right?
It's weird how the advent calendars this year just keep circling back to alcohol.
I blame 2020.
It’s odd, because I interpreted “getting hammered” as the transparent glass being full of Vodka, presumable for Santa and the reindeer. They’ll really be laughing all the way now, although I hope no grandmas get run over.
