silver Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I am so old I can remember Advent calendars when they didn't have chocolate inside. Actually I think you can still buy the ones that just have pictures inside the doors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was seen as almost scandalous the first year we had a calendar with (whisper it) chocolate inside! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are four Sundays before Christmas, so today is the first Sunday of Advent. You don't use this word in Romania? Mika also has an Advent wreath in his dressing room. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 My town is getting ready... the gingerbread houses and giant reindeer are out. I love this shop... always has a good display: Not with those prices though, window shopping only! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyLove_CJ Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 @Hero the Christmas lights in your town look lovely! My town tends to use the same old boring ones every year I much prefer how a lot of local shops near me do their own thing with decorations. There's also a local artist who regularly paints shop windows, with shops that are next to one another he'll continue the painting all along with a Christmas theme, it always looks really beautiful but I haven't seen any work like it since 2019 because of the pandemic, hopefully this year the artist will be back with unique art! 🎅 ⛄ ❄ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 1st of December so that means chocolate advent calender time! The chocolates inside mine may well be small and cheap but I rather enjoyed my mini chocolate carrot! 🥕 (fans of a certain German supermarket may know what advent calender I have ) Need willpower not to just eat them all in one go... 🙃 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a few years back we opted for pink and plum in the office, that worked well. It's the season that brings out our inner magpies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they seem to be running a social media comp to win it, I don't think you can get it in the shops - thank goodness! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
