The Pirate wakes up, washed ashore on a strange island.
There’s a beach, some foliage, and the sea—not much else. The Pirate throws a message in a bottle and hopes for rescue.
Rescue doesn’t come, but another survivor finds the bottle. Big Pirate and Little Pirate see birds…and snow!
Little Pirate has a map and a compass! Too bad it doesn’t lead to food; the pirates are getting hungry and this hay doesn’t sound good.
A cunning plan for dinner is hatched as Big Pirate and Little Pirate lure in a deer…
…until Daddy Deer finds out. RUUUUN! The pirates hide under a derelict boat.
They give up on food for the moment and try out the newfound boat. “Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!”
Surprise! Supplies!
The plant life seems as confused as the strange island itself. Palms and pines and sand and snow?!
“We claim this island in the name of pirate-kind!”
Big Pirate just wants to take a nap on his new hammock, but the raccoons are big jerks.
It’s getting dark and even colder, so Big Pirate lights a fire.
The first Pirate Christmas Island Shakespeare Festival is underway. The animals are…not so impressed.
“Lick it—it’s candy. Orange flavor!” Little Pirate and Baby Boar are not convinced.
The residents of Pirate Christmas Island are way too into old internet memes.
On second thought…let’s NOT investigate the creepy cave!
A couple of cute mice partake of the berries. Meanwhile, Big Pirate seems to have gotten him into trouble again.
Wait, now there’s a GHOST Pirate? Just when we thought we were getting used to this weird place…
Between the Ghost Pirate and ghost monkeys, Little Pirate struggles to get any sleep around here.
Big and Little Pirates found buried treasure! Also, some fox kits. Now, if only they could get the foxes off the treasure.
Well, the Mom Fox came and got the kits off the chest, but they’re no closer to opening it. They DID find some other valuables though. Now, if only they could get off the island to spend it.
Big Pirate comes up with an “ingenious” plan to open the chest. Little Pirate is not so sure.
“Hey, ammo for the cannon! That’ll work much better.”
Hooray! Santa got the Pirates gold for Christmas! How did he know that was their favorite?
What happens when Pirate and Christmas Playmobil Advent Calendar lands collide? Well, in the case of the Advent Calendars I found for my kids (Playmobil Forest Winter Wonderland and Pirates Treasure Cove), my husband decided to make a photo story out of the treasures that were opened each day. Come join us as the Christmas and Pirate Playmobil Advent Calendars are opened and hi-jinks follow…
Playmobil is a big hit in our house. Finding these Playmobil Advent Calendars on clearance over the last year made for a really exciting December for the kids. They were able to expand their Playmobil universe, and dad was able to share his quirky sense of humor with our kids and with friends on Facebook. Since he only shared a few days on Facebook, he has gone back through and taken a picture for each day so that I could share the complete collection with you.

Ha! Love it! We had the Forest Winter Wonderland calendar this year (the girls dubbed the scene “Paper Christmas”). It was the first time we’d done an advent calendar and they loved it. We were all a little sad when we opened the angel and it was all over. I might pick up the Pirate one for next year.
Cool! Ours had Santa on the last day. This year our plan is to pick up different mini sets through the year and then divide them into 48 advent calendar pockets (on calendars we already have). Who knows what the theme will be 🙂
