This is a minor, minor gripe, and has been a problem forever, but I really dislike the colour bleeding from the Elf hat onto their ears.
This is an easy, easy set to recommend to buy, as you’ll enjoy every moment of the set. With LEGO being in such short supply this year, I wouldn’t hesitate in pulling the trigger on the Elf Club House, especially if you want to avoid missing out for Christmas this year.

This structure looks remarkably simple but I like the reddish brown pillars that contrast against the otherwise dark tan ground floor. The sleigh slots neatly into this parking bay and tiles on the ground allow the vehicle to arrive or depart smoothly, as one might imagine on the snow.

So since this is a red deer mould from HP with white-tailed deer fur posing as a reindeer = American reindeer :P It’s been tradition on the blog to publish my review of this year’s Winter Village set around Christmas, but LEGO were kind enough to offer the set for review, and I couldn’t wait till December. This year’s design is a breath of fresh air, and I love the use of 2 x 1 cutout wedges to give the tree its angled shape and sense of texture. At over 8.5” (22cm) high and 5” (13cm) deep, this building set for adults and families makes an impressive Christmas present or secret Santa gift idea with a display model to enjoy year after year. Zannad F, McMurray JJV, Krum H et al (2010) Eplerenone in patients with systolic heart failure and mild symptoms. N Engl J Med 364(1):11–21. https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa1009492I don’t believe there’s an existing red propeller, although it could be a reference to this Duplo plane. Maybe LEGO are hinting at a Creator Expert propeller coming in the near future. Despite significant variation in their appearance and purpose, Winter Village buildings share similar architectural features and 10275 Elf Club House maintains that tradition. The dramatic roof slopes seem appropriate for this wintry environment and correspond with certain previous sets, including 10267 Gingerbread House from 2019. This model measures almost 21cm wide and exactly 21cm in height which is comparatively tall.
The elves presumably enjoy waffles as two waffles are placed on their dining table and three more remain visible in the oven! There is only enough room for two elves at the table and their short legs prevent them from sitting down, although these tan chairs do look nice. Additionally, I like the photograph hanging on the wall which displays the four elf minifigures with Santa Claus. The first instruction booklet covers the first two bags of parts, and includes everything that isn’t part of the club house structure itself. It has the Christmas tree, a selection of gifts, a sleigh, a scarf-wearing elf and Brixen. These builds don’t really interact with the club house at all, so it could be a good opportunity to share the work around with a bit of family building. You know, if this set wasn’t meant just for adults. (I’m almostdone complaining about that.)

Moreover, I like the red scarf component and the torso decoration is lovely, featuring metallic gold highlights on each side. These designs are reasonably simple but they correspond with traditional depictions of Santa's elves.
What do you think of the 2020 Winter Village set? Do you think it’s a great addition to the Winter Village and does it fit in well with the other buildings?

The use of studs embedded into the tree itself works remarkbly well visually, and I love the feeling of discovering and building each year’s Christmas tree.

N Engl J Med 381(17):1609–1620. https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa1908655 Like all LEGO Winter Village sets, the Elf Club House comes with an assortment of mini LEGO models, which often reference current LEGO sets. Contemporary data directly comparing experiences between individuals with public and private health insurance among the 5 major forms of coverage in the US are limited. This survey study used data from the 2016-2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System on 149 290 individuals residing in 17 states and the District of Columbia, representing the experiences of more than 61 million US adults.Explore your favorite family Christmas traditions with this delightful building challenge. Build the quaint Elf Club House (10275) then explore all its cozy holiday details as you unwind with this hands-on project. Detailed furnishings continue on the next floor, where the elves sleep. They include a lovely chest with alternating tan and medium nougat drawers beside a bright green rug. A splendid table lamp is also provided but I think the neighbouring chair looks rather bland. Furthermore, blue Technic pins are visible beneath the roof and these appear totally incongruous.

Euro J Heart Fail 14(5):473–479 Elf Club House contains four elves, wearing identical bright green attire which has been created specifically for this set. Some degree of variation would generally be appreciated but I think the shared design seems appropriate here, undoubtedly improving upon the minifigures from 10245 Santa's Workshop. Their bright green hats with moulded ears remain unchanged though and look superb.
