LEGOLAND Florida Offers Two Celebrations For The Holidays

LEGOLAND Florida will get into the holiday spirit by hosting its first annual Christmas Bricktacular where festive holiday decorations and music will fill The Beginning and Fun Town throughout the season.

The Beginning is home to a truly spectacular, Bricktacular sight – a more than 30-foot-tall LEGO Christmas tree made with a combination of 270,000 forest green LEGO and DUPLO® bricks.

The park’s first-ever tree lighting ceremony takes place on December 5th with a special master of ceremonies.  Every night, through December 31st, a special family will be chosen to help light the Bricktacular tree.

Santa Claus will also make special daily appearances in the historical botanical gardens!

And when the holidays end, the fun continues with ‘Kids’ New Year’s Eve’ on Dec. 31. During this event kids will rock out and watch the sky explode with LEGO fireworks at just the right time for them, midnight KST (Kid Standard Time) – otherwise known as 7 p.m. EST.

Holiday events are included in park admission. Tickets and Annual Passes for LEGOLAND Florida are available at www.LEGOLAND.com

2011 Holiday Merchandise Spotlight On Ear Hat Ornaments

Continuing with the 2011 Holiday Merchandise Spotlight, today I wanted to take a look at the two different styles of ear hat ornaments that are being offered this year.

The first ornaments are made of porcelain, come with a satin bow for hanging, and are limited editions. They are 1 3/4” H 3 1/4” W (at ears) x 2 1/4” Diameter.

Also available are miniature versions of the felt ear hats you can purchase in the stores!

I am completely obsessed with them!!!!

2011 Holiday Merchandise Spotlight on Vinylmations

I thought that I would end the week off with a look at the 2011 Holiday Viynlmations…The Jingle Smells!

These 3 inch scented Vinyls have poseable arms and hands like the regular Vinylmations, but they also feature a hook to allow you to hang them on your tree.

Jingle Smell Vinylmations are in open window tubes (instead of boxes), and are available in Chocolate, Gingerbread, Marshmallow, and Peppermint Candy Cane.

These Vinyls are soooooooooo super cute!!! I am normally not a fan, but I think I might have to get these bad boys to add to the tree!!!
