DaisyMay Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 We opened ours yesterday and found naked Santa. Not a great choice on Lego's part. Very strange, but so is the shower. Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I would crack up if Indy got that. He has the Lego Kingdoms Advent calendar (it came out last year, but I found it this year on sale for about $9). It's medieval themed and 2 or 3 days ago he got a beer barrel and cup. My mom (who is visiting) was horrified, but we just took it in stride. That's what they drank. Naked Santa though...that would be a bit hard to explain. I'd still laugh though.

If I had known about Santa (he also looks like he's wearing a speedo :blink:) I might not have purchased it! We got a good laugh out of it and ds exchanged his bottom half with a surfer minifig. So I guess we'll keep him out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfunnybunch Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 :lol::lol::lol: We kept trying to decide who the heck he was supposed to be. My kids decided it was NOT Santa. He's the grandfather spending Christmas with the family, taking a shower in the living room. With a red cap on. I still laugh every time I walk by the Lego calendar. So bizarre! The mom and son are having a sword-bread fight, and the cat is skateboarding, with her helmet on, of course. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asta Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I think it is something that is being lost in translation. One needs to remember that Lego is a Danish company, and that their Advent calendar is primarily a European product, not a US one (they sell a couple different versions over here every year, and you can buy them everywhere - even at drug stores). Europeans don't bat an eye at "nudity" like this. I would have assumed it was a speedo. Although I'm wondering why Santa would be wearing a Speedo in the shower... What day is this from? a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Sherry Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I do agree. Generally speaking, Europeans don't constantly sexualize nudity the way Americans do. We're probably not as desensitized to nudity as some Europeans. A family we know took a trip to Paris and the Mom didn't like her teenage son seeing a lot of topless women walking around in public. There are people that ride their bikes nude in Portland Oregon. I think that's just weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Generally speaking, Europeans don't constantly sexualize nudity the way Americans do. I haven't really read anyone sexualizing Santa's nudity. I just don't want a hairy pot-bellied old guy stopping on his way around the world to use his portable shower in my living room . :D Actually, I think naked Santa (or naked Grandpa, as my kids have decided, or naked elf, according to my friend's kids) is hysterically funny.

applesing Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This is the first Lego advent calendar we have had. My girls decided that this minifigure was NOT Santa Claus, since he was dressed in a yellow suit instead of a red suit.

talexand Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I am so glad for this post. My oldest son had unpacked naked Santa the other day. I didn't notice it and he says he wasn't sure what it was so just put it with the others. Then my middle son put together the shower, which he thought was a faucet so no one put two and two together until I just now placed Santa under the shower. Its histerical!
