Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Here's wishing all our Christian friends here a Merry Christmas! Happy holidays and Happy New Year everyone! =) ...
Instead of a snow globe, I built a nanoblock snow cube ... Hahahaa =D ... The Christmas tree in the center is lighted up using a LED base plate and the nanoblock display case it put to good use here as the cube =)

It measures 24cm (H) x 22cm (W) x 27cm (D) and weights about 1kg.
