Do you have an advent calendar?

[ethandron]

Yes, it’s a Brewdog beer one, a different beer behind each door. So far there’s been Hoppy Christmas, Mistletoe Mafia, and Quench Quake. It was a surprise present from our youngest.

I was hoping someone might me the gin one, but no.... :((

When I was young there were no gifts behind the doors. We were just excited to see what the picture was.

[ummmm]

I've never known them to not have chocolate in them.

Jo....buy yourself one, they'll be on offer now :-)

[kvalidir]

Yeah we have two one for me and one for him. Mine is a perfume one (but not the perfume one I was hoping for- sad times :( ) and his I made and stuck little clues and riddles inside which lead him to a little wrapped parcel somewhere in the apartment, except he ate #24 the other day because he just found it and 'didn't know what it was' despite it having 24 in huge letters all over it. Idiot. lol

Weirdly... Yes I have

We both have a Thorntons one from daughter. She does this every year.
I bought all 5 grandchildren one and daughter and SIL

The words in the thread title aren't all capitalised, and oddly that makes me uncomfortable.

[Mamyalynne]

No, I haven't - would have liked a beauty or perfume one but never mind.

[Mamyalynne]

It does look weird Jim,even though it looks right.

[Buenchico]

I've never had an advent calendar, nor bought one for anyone else. Indeed, I was an adult before I even knew that they existed.

[TonyV]

yes chocolates coming out every day

Why don't Pharmacists pack medication in advent calenders?

Ooh, what a surprise, anti-depressants, anxiety tablets, blood pressure medication and the odd random pill, just to spice things up a bit.

[emmie]

no not for years sadly

Little Tigs has got 2. Lego and chocolate. He's got a choc one at my parents as well.

I got my brother a Beer Hawk World calendar for his birthday in November which he's currently enjoying :o)

[aelmpvw]

does the free advent calendar from a well known supermarket revealing the latest mouthwatering deals count?

[Canary42]

Only one from a charity which I support. Each door reveals some case which has been supported by the charity.

[Cloverjo]

Good point, Jim. Why is that? Must be a perk of the job ;)

[choux]

Had my first one this year, Green & Blacks, delicious.

We would have to have one with a large G & T behind each door, that would up the competition so we will not bother, silly game.
