Obviously no one will be putting up their decorations at home until mid-December at the earliest, but it’s only a few days until the beginning of advent, so if you mark the season, you’ll be putting advent calendars up soon.
Do you have one? Two? If so, what sort? I see that some have mentioned that they’re getting beer or whisk(e)y ones in other threads.
We grew up with card advent calendars with pictures behind the windows and only moved to a chocolate one a couple of years ago. If felt like a big step.
But this year, as a kind of house-warming present, my mum made my brother and I new ones. They look amazing. Here’s a photo.
Friend went to a Nordic Xmas fair the other day and spotted a salmiakki advent calendar. For either wrong people like myself who like the stuff, or true masochists.
You’re probably not getting enough ammonia in your life. I like the cream rock they do with salmiakki crystals on the outside. You can also get salmiakki choc-ices in Finland.
I’ve just never bothered. Bought my wife one yesterday though but she always forgets to eat them so bangs a week’s worth down on a Sunday evening. I fail to see the point. Although I do love Christmas so anyone getting firmly stuck in with what gives them yuletide glee is fine by me.
By opening the bottom of the calendar and sliding the plastic tray out, so the doors stay shut?
I had a friend whose parents would buy her and her bro 1 chocolate advent calendar to share, and they’d have alternating days to make them “learn to share”.
