Right, right… I know there is nothing Christmas-y about Star Wars. However, the LEGO Ideas team is running a LEGO Star Wars holiday contest and I would be remiss not to mention it here. Now, don’t be mad at me if you feel baited by the image of the LEGO Employee Gift from 2019! I
We are always looking for books full of great ideas… especially if they are related to winter builds. That’s why we were excited to get the LEGO Holiday Ideas book.

Well, this is a first for us… I just posted yesterday about DixieLUG’s participation in this weekend’s 2020 Model Train show. This morning, we woke to find the show was canceled.
