Advent Calender

[Pubey]

Ok, I got one of those Royal Mail missed delivery cards in the post the other day so being new to this city i trekked across the town on my lunch hour to the sorting office, where i was 'delighted' to have received a chocolate advent calender from my aunt... she sent my bro and sis one too as they are at uni. the thought was what counted but being lazy i couldn't be bothered to carry it home so i took it to work and have it proudly on display on my desk.

since then i've received a ton of abuse from the lads, but 'ahhs' and jealous glances from the ladies... so my question is "are advent calenders cool? do you have one? do you have yours at work!?"

 

[Mr. Benedict]

I have one. It's at home rather than work though!

It'd be cheaper to go out and buy a few mars bars, cut them up in 25 bits, and have ONE A DAY.

God I hate Christmas..... :(

 

[Uncle Leo]

Spelling the word 'calendar' incorrectly eight times certainly isn't cool.

[MK Shrimper]

...and I thought I didn't get in to the Christmas spirit!

For the record, we all got one in our flat and they cost 49p each - proper premium quality.

Technically, the Christmas period ends on twelfth night (January 6th) ;)

You really need to eat some mince pies or something to cheer yourself up.... ;)

A nice steak meal would go down well.

They're all the rage these days I've heard

I love advent calendars... but then, when Xmas-time comes, I become even more schmaltzy than I am normally.

:D

I'm pretty sure any event in your calendar would be over-hyped if you took the same attitude.

Never have two ShrimperZone windows open, and be sure never to respond to the wrong post with a random ****tering.

Although the newer advent calendars mostly have 25 doors. Do these companies have no sense of tradition?!? :mad:
