Well it's the first of December and only 25 days till Christmas. Just thought I'd start a fun poll to see how many people have advent calenders
Need a few more options there, as we have a cloth one (containing chocs) and a paper one (also containing chocs). This is the only time of year when my seven old is first up
I'm staying with my parents at the moment and my Mummy got me 1. I wouldn't have 1 otherwise It's good because it prepares my stomache for the amount of sweets I'll be eating over the Christmas period.
Chocolate advent calendar... now I'm feeling deprived. Never heard of one before; I grew up with a cloth one and now have a cloth one.
my favorite part of christmas as a kid was my advent calendar. My mom had one for my brother and I each year (she knitted it) and hung chocolates on it for each day in december. I loved that thing. She still has it; I want to hang it up in my house now that I have one, but she's out of the country this year
It's sad when times change. I'm spending this Christmas with my fiancee and her parents because my parents are gallevanting off to Tenerife. I couldn't afford the flight or the time to go with them. Never spent a Christmas without my parents before so it will be strange.
Tell me about it I have the fire breathing mother inlaw coming down to stay. Joy! Gives a whole new meaning to boxing day.
Hahahah mother in laws ! I got one of those chocolate calenders and ate the whole thing already ! heheheh
lol I haven't even eaten any of mine yet. My Aunt stayed the other night and slept in my bed while I got the couch so she left me a box of quality street. Haven't really had the desire for any advent chocolate.
Dan! What the heck?! See that girl of yours is trying to make you fat, lol! I am sure Santa won't bring you anything this year after pulling that stunt!
Don't you just hate that feeling after you've had your Christmas dinner and you're totally stuffed and can't move. lol The older I get the guiltier I feel about the amount which we eat at Christmas. I can't help but think about people who don't have anything to eat at Christmas and there's probably piles of food getting wasted. It's a crazy world we live in.
