His calendars are good as well.

Is this a euphemism?

I made my bf an advent calendar this year, and in each pocket is a chocolate and a note with a reason why I love him

For starters the numbers are in ****ing order!!! What's that **** all about?! Secondly the chocolates all the way up to #19 have just been squares of chocolate with a stamp on of something Christmas related and they've all been pretty unrecognisable!

I've been sorely disappointed by this, I might have to write an angry letter exclaiming how my Christmas has been ruined by their poor quality products. I can't get over how the numbers are in order, it's a disgrace!

Sounds like your life sucks.

My 4 year managed to scoff all 24 chocies like a boss on the morning we gave her a calender this year.

I was so proud, she was proper devious and just popped upstairs every so often to go to the toilet or play in her room. She opened it from the bottom to slide the tray out so it still looked intact from the front.

I saw the lego calenders and was soo tempted.

Could be worse, the Mrs got me a hello kitty calendar

Is it a pink pocket?

Sorry, could not resist.

They never used to have a 25 either - 24 used to be the big "picture" (I say picture cos 30 years ago chocolate ones were rare and you opened the door to see a christmassy scene behind it).

Yup and we still fought about who get's to open the big door even without chocolate.

My son can't even be bothered opening them... lol

Anyone else read the thread title in the simpsons comic book store voice?

Behind each door is a missing chocolate accompanied by a foreveralone.jpg?

I'd love a rage face advent calendar. With each chocolate being shaped as an actual rage face

It is an advent calendar, how old are you?

I forgot the internet was serious business! :eek:

Got a normal Lego one myself:

So far got this lot out of it

I believe this is my first year without an advent calendar

I feel ancient.

Dude - I hit the big 40 next year :eek:

You're never too old to have an advent calendar.

Wtf lego instead of chocolate, laaaame.

As to my thoughts on the thread itself, argggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh die die die. Merry Xmas.

Arnie · 21 Dec 2011 at 06:17

Calenders that miss out on the 25th seem pointless IMO. Should be an extra big one to open on Xmas Day. :/

TwsT · 21 Dec 2011 at 07:16

my mother gave me and the missus one on my 28th birthday....... Apparently my sister said "Mum I'm 30" so my mother said she'll take it back. Request denied! I Lolled
