Anyone here got an advent calendar this year?

I think they are a great way to cheer up dreary December mornings.

So what did people find behind door number one? I've got a Turkish Delight chocolate and a picture of Santa.

Daily updates!

Well, my advent calendar has chocolates, so today I got a chocolate. I'm guessing tomorrow I'm getting a chocolate. And every other day in December.

Although today my chocolate was in the shape of a holly leaf. :D

my advent calendar has gummy bears!

my kids and I made it........

oh, and we made a serious one too, you know with no candy.

An unnecessary tradition, bit like crackers and christmas trees.

I am planning on buying one for my friend.

Calender be damned, I just want the chocolate.

I haven't bought mine yet. Best part about Christmas.

I have four. Three of which I bought in the sales last year.....:)

I've got a Cadbury one. Very tasty it was too.

They make Cadbury ones?????

I must find one.

screw them. they promote the practise of starting christmas season too early.

Um...yea? They make Cadbury almost everything...you should be able to get one in any supermarket.

I still think there should be a small explosive charge with a timer that launches the chocolate out each day.

That would certainly be festive, and a nice lead in for the New Year's celebration.

It would also keep people from cheating.

They are an inefficient source of chococlate.

Why would you need a calendar to get chocolate?

Mine's a Cadbury's one. And each chocolate is like a different variety of Cadbury's chocolate, hence today's Turkish Delight.

I have four. Three of which I bought in the sales last year.....:)Are those still good? Because my some of my Easter eggs from last year have gone bad...

But, yay! Go advent calenders. Love the chocolatey ones! They've erased all my bad memories of advent calendars.

I thought chocolate doesn't go off :confused:

and I have some weird calendar with pouches loaded with chocolate coins but for sum reason I’ve got the American half dollar two days in a row, Kennedy is an asshole :(

Of course chocolate goes off. I've had bad chocolate... It goes paler and flakey. It's not nice at all. :(

They also make Lindt chocolate advent calendars, but they're expensive

Anyhow, I have a chocolate one myself. I don't even enjoy chocolate, but it's tradition! It's always been tradition. I open it each morning, and then give it away. :)
