  1. I love Advent and the beauty of the traditions around it. I also love Advent calendars. We weren't allowed to have them when I was a kid. Who knows why. I definitely made up for it with my daughter. 😅 We always had so much fun with her Advent calendar every year.

  2. How interesting…the history of advent calenders. I used to have one each year from my blessed mum..right up until I was in my late 40's! how mignon!! I did buy myself an After8 one last year but was not too impressed..some of beauty ones are fab but Im sticking with traditional and will find a chocolate one again on Wednesday when we shop..

  3. Wow….I love all people & everything…just found out…happy holiday season to all…….hmm even in India we are waiting for Christmas holidays….. Life is great going for me

  4. I have always liked Advent calendars and bought them every year. I like the ritual of turning the flap every day and seeing what's beneath. I've never had the chocolate or present ones. I used to buy a small card calendar to put on my desk at work. However, in the US, they have disappeared. Bought two last year on Etsy from a British source but the shipping charges were more than the cards themselves.
