Advent calenders

Post by Quickenthetempo » Wed Dec 01, 2021 12:37 pm

Who still gets one?

Or are you a 'they're only for kids' type?

First year in ages i'm not having one. Not even going to grab a half price Thorntons one on the 4th of December. :cry:

I got one a few years ago with pork scratchings in lieu of chocolate.

Most welcome. :D

Advent calendar, when was the last time a daily tasty chocolate treat countdown to Christmas bore any relation to the Advent?

It's short for adventure, seeing as it's certainly an adventure trying to open the boxes before the kids get their grubby little hands on the chocolate.
