Title: Advent Calendars
Post by: cinabar on December 01, 2009, 10:37:49 pm

So, does everyone have their Advent Calendars then?

I have a strange one this year, it is long thin rectangular one and looks like a train...

Not the easiest to take a picture of!

Anyway, I'm also trying to collect picture of other peoples calendars, particularly with open windows, for my blog.

Details are in my sig if you are interested... it is just for fun.  ;)

Your advent train looks really unusual, I've never seen one like it. What's behind the doors?

I was given a chocolate Bart Simpson calendar from Kinnerton by my other half. There are (very thin) chocolate shapes but no pictures behind the doors ... it's just brown cardboard. Disappointing.

I don't think I have either!  Oldspice we must be deprived.  I may see if there are any going half-price...

IMO, advent calenders tend to be a rip off.  Has anyone had one that was worth the money?

Nope, but it is an excuse to ensure you get some extra choccie almost every day in December :)
(btw mine is a Divine milk one).
