Have you already opened the first window of your chocolate advent calendar? :wink:
Or more importantly, do you even have one?

Allright, I just googled and wikipedia'd advent calendars. I've never heard of this Christmas tradition before, but now I know. Amazing what you learn on the Hamumu forums, eh?

Odd that it would be called an Advent calendar when part of Advent is not included. Do you feel deprived of the 4 pieces of chocolate that you did not get from November 27-30?

You open a window every day Dec 1.-24. (there's a nice picture or chocolate inside)

I think I had a lego advent calendar, where every slot came with a tiny little Christmas related lego. Now I don't have it, but that's just because all those legos cause a mess :lol:

Some people live on different planets, my very young, fellow feathered friend. I, myself, live on DuckWorld (But it's not a very big planet really. Only a patch of land with a duck pond in it so far. It'll get bigger soon. )
