Advent calendar thread.

Today I got a bird cage from my playmobile calender and a milky way from my celebrations one. Pleased

Whatcha get? (Don't lie, I know you got one.....)

I don't have a chocolate one. THEY ARE WRONG.

But the picture behind my window was Santa reading letters.

Marks and Spencers were selling gingerbread ones! You get a little gingerbread man behind each window!

I got a cracker. :)

Bet you have Dairy milk then.... :)

Where does one get such an advent with treats?

Google them! Advent calenders are a plenty!

My boyfriend ate mine (it's at his house) and he thinks it was a Jelly Fish. :S

I guess I am not getting it. You open a door on the calendar and get treats behind it?

The ones I have seen simply have a phrase or some date behind the door.

You can get different kinds. The most common and popular here have a small shaped chocolate behind the door.

But I like the ones with just a picture behind. Like of a robin or a snowman.
Cos that's what we had when I was little.

I always open the little window in the mornings, and chocolate that early is not always a good thing.

I would have had one of each kind if I'd seen the picture-only ones!

Agreed. But I still eat it. :D

Oh no!

You get also get fabric or wooden ones with pockets or draws that you put sweets or small gifts in for each day!

They're probably deep and meaningful philosophical statements, giving information that could change our lives. I'd be happier with a bit of chocolate though, to be honest.

Why does zooo think having chocolate in calendars is wrongful btw?

Ah, that'll be it!
