Time to open door one tomorrow, what kind of Adent Calendar have you got this year? I imagine that chocolate ones will be the most popular!
I had a bonus from work recently so I decided to treat myself to a craft beer calendar, 24 different craft beers from around the world so I’m looking forward to that. I got my mom a Baileys one too, stupidly expensive but she will love it. |

"we’ve got an old model of a christmas cottage with 24 draws you put little treats in, also has lights round it, had it for about 15 years now.
That sounds fabulous."

"Tried to explain to my daughter that advent calendars in the olden days just had a picture behind the door,no chic, gifts,cheese,etc.
She was horrified!"
I miss those ones! The thrill of opening a door & finding a sprig of Holly |

I have a Lego one.
I’ve taken a friend under my wing, im making him eat my old diet. I didn’t think it fair to eat chocolate whilst he eats kale, so I’m eating kale as well |

Three of us took it in turns to open the doors every day. Woop woop I got a robin! Then the fight over the big double doors on the 24th - it was always the nativity scene but the expectation and excitement were palpable! Then it went away for the next year. Kids today don’t know they’re born |

I bought a friend the gin advent calendar, little expensive but I’m sure he will appreciate it |

It was exactly like that in my house when I was a kid. My mom settled the argument about who opens the 24th by insisting that she open it. |

Some one made me a craft beer advent Calander last year and I very much enjoyed it. 20 different bottles craft beers in and only one that I found undrinkable. Much better value than buying one I have to say.
Any one want to make me one this year feel free  |

We've fabric calendars, with a pocket that holds a treat for every day, sometimes sweets, sometimes a coin or a special surprise 
We head off to a plantation in the Clwyds and pick out our tree the first weekend of the month, and go and cut it on the 20th, and drag it back home. I've taught my sprogs the Lumber Jack song |
