Happy holidays, I'm ProLC. You may not know me, but that's ok too. I don't need lots of people to recognize me as I stand in the baby toys section of Kohl's and try and feel the inner parts of the 2020 DC minifigure blind bags. I'm sure some people wouldn't even try going into an American department store retail chain and preform magic to ensure they are able to collect a variant Batman. Is it sad that some people would? I don't think it should even be a topic for discussion in 2019. Some people might be embarrassed. But the very corporately happy middle-aged lady at the cash register tried to make small talk about the product even though she had no idea what the heck could be inside such a small bag and cost more than five dollars. It's a toy and it costs that much? "I hope you get one you don't already have." She may have genuinely wanted you to not get a double. It's that kind of attempt that I want to make for this community. I want to make one of the posters of LEGO General happy, maybe even just a little bit. That's why we have the Saddest Christmas Building Competition.
Just build something in the spirit of Christmas and mild depression for a chance to be judged. You still have about 4 hours to build, post, and timestamp basically any MOC you want for a chance to win a prize. A very real, usable, build-able, playable, semi-swooshable, and offical LEGO prize that is valued at around $5.00 USD. Please see the attached picture for a visual representation of the 2018 reindeer ornament set.
