Advent calendars - What have you got?

[Slam]

advent chocs are usually terrible, better off just buying a nice bar of chocolate

Doing this again this year. This time, wifey wrote the numbers on the front so I’ll have to go hunt for them each day.

I am informed that I have 2 this year. This will partially make up for last year's shortcomings.

:edit: I believe:
- Chocolate orange
- Reeses

Hell yeah

My mother-in-law's advent calendar arrived the other day. I got a Cadbury chocolate while my partner got a Galaxy. Even the two dogs got their doggo chocolate ones.

So this year I have tried to cut back on the black tea I consume so been having herbal teas with breakfast. It's hard to find ones I actually like.

My partner being my better and more thoughtful half got me a brilliant tea sampling advent calendar. And also an infuser for it.



Of course I didn't get her anything so she picked out the Kinder one in Morrisons She liked the look of the Lindor one but decided it was too expensive oddly.

So show me what you got!

Honestly every other drink I try I'm just thinking "but it's not proper tea".

I've already been primarily decaf for a couple of years

Just a standard dairy milk one at home and a fancier Lindt one in my office that was bought for me.

Nice merge @Feek ... I did search thread titles for "advent calendar" but clearly I needed to search for "calendars", silly me

I've also got the so nom it's wrong Ilchester Cheese calendar this year, first time I've been able to find them in stock for about three years.

None as I'm not interested. But the kids have a Lego one.

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 as per last year, I've not been able to find one so I’ve done this again.

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?

Missing Cheese Moments!!
