Just curious after seeing a photo on Facebook saying that the parents spent all night building the Lego sets for Christmas day. Do people build Lego sets before Santa or they give them as presents?

Lol. Our boys have a ton of Lego and we have never built the set before giving it. They love to build it themselves. Isn't that the whole point.

No and I find it weird that parents then spend Christmas day building it for their children to play with. Let the kids build at their own pace!

Vent over.

Could it possibly be to check that all the bits are there?

I had to read the photo caption a couple of times but they it definitely said it was all ready for Christmas morning.

We have never done this so I was a little like huh is this normal. I always have figured the fun of Lego was building yourself or it was when I was a kid. We help if the kids ask but mostly they do it themselves.
