Do you have an advent calendar?

[rowanwitch]

No, just an impending sense of doom , don't need to count that down

Good morning all.

I have set up this poll. It automatically publishes from the AB Editor but please be aware that the AB Editor is still on sick leave.

All information regarding the AB Editor can be found here.

Yes, but mine's a Brexit Advent calendar. Each window reveals the latest Cabinet minister to have resigned.

[Samuraisan]

No, I am 65, not 5.

[murraymints]

[woofgang]

[Tilly2]

I have an advent candle, will that do?

[rowanwitch]

Minty, just open cupboards at random and eat what ever you find that's edible behind the door

[murraymints]

you burn down a wee bit each day Tilly ?

[murraymints]

[ABSpareEditor]

Yes, Tilly2. That counts.

[murraymints]

I have a craft beer advent calendar. 24 bottles. Much better than chocolate.

Not being Christian there wouldn't be any point, didn't have them as children either. Remember we had class ones in primary school, best behaved got to open the door. Don't think I ever did... funny that. Santa's naughty list was the excuse my mum gave for us not getting as many presents as our friends too.

[murraymints]

I always got to open the BIG door because my birthday is on Christmas Day...have I mentioned that ? ... lol xx

[rowanwitch]

Once or twice...

[ummmm]

I got some for the kids (now adults) and two are still in the kitchen.

I think I've killed their Christmas spirit :-)

Only heard about advent calendars in my 40s, and still not sure what they do. Are small chocolates involved?

[ummmm]

Yes, BB, we have Cadbury's ones.

Won one in a raffle on Sunday - sat at work last night and tore off the back and ate them all.
