Advent Calendars - Do you? If so which ones?

[tyred]

I fancy this one.

Me too - but I can't see it on their site this year.

It's got to be Super, not the normal rubbish.

I actually quite like the normal rubbish.

Ms AU and I have agreed, once again, to do nothing Christmassy at all.

So no advent calendars here.

It's a relief.

My partner rarely has a sweet tooth, so i get her a hand cream one, think it's Dove or something. I've also got her a yankee candle one, again about 20 quid for 24 mini candles

Like that idea.

Years ago I had a mate in Edinburgh, and one night when I was working up that way I stopped at the Holiday Inn next to the zoo and met him in a bar nearby.

When I ordered a pint he looked at me in disgust and said, 'no one drinks Tennant's in Scotland.' 😂

I get a beer advent calendar from my local bottle shop.

As people are now much less religious I'm surprised Advent calendars still attract interest.
After all what have beer, chocolate and pork scratching got to do with with what is essentially a religious festival?

Nothing, but my advent beer box is an excuse to have a beer every evening from December 1st until Christmas.

No, I have no interest in xmas. My wife wants to bring family together but i'd rather celebrate my kids birthdays and have a family gathering in summer.

Nothing. It's not really a religious festival any more. It's mostly about family coming back together and giving gifts. It's nice to have a little present each day through December...

It's not meant to be about you. It's about other people :-)🎅🎅🎅

Long-dead argument.

For most, in our predominantly secular society, religion disappeared off of the Xmas radar long ago.
