Advent calendars - What have you got?

[Feek]

Everone loves an advent calendar, whether it's a traditional one with a little Father Christmas hanging on a string that you move from one pocket to another, or one with a string to pull that makes Father Christmas dance, or one with awful little chocolates that you'd shun every other month of the year, etc etc.

For the last few years I've had a cheese advent calendar but I've not been able to find one in stock this year so instead I've done this.

The purists may argue that it's not technically an advent calendar and I suppose you could be right but each one does has 24 goodies, they're numbered but just not behind a door so I'm saying it's fair

With only a few days to go until December, what have you got?

Don't care about Christmas any more and certainly would not entertain an advent calendar. My parter has one from M&S.

Well, aren't you an overflowing industrial vat of laughs.

As a 39 year old man, I get what ever my mum has decided to buy me for the year. Last year it was one of the cheese ones, I'd be made up with a set of bacon or scampi fries though!

I bought a packet of scampi fries on Monday at the pub....have they changed their recipe? It tastes like nuclear waste or something strong. I swear it was more sweet and savory before, when i say before, like 10 years ago.

I don't know, but now I really want some nuclear waste flavour scampi fries.

No idea, it's probably been longer than ten years since I last had any. I'll let you know next week.

Just the Hotel Chocolat ones for my girls, but I'm definitely jealous of Feek's.

My children will have a chocolate one each, I won’t have one (if they forget to open a window before school it’s fair game, right?).

Was a Wera tool calendar last year - didn't fancy this years one that much so, its a Lindt one for me this year.

Did you drink more, er, 'readily' ten years ago?

I always eat the 24th and 25th of December from the kids calenders. They honestly don't miss them days.

 

[Feek]

25th of December

Since when did advent calendars have a 25th December?
