What?! Mine doesn't have candy!
ok, sweet/candy/treat/picture/whateveryourshas
Mine has words :(
Just to clarify, are you talking about those things with chocolate under each day and a story about Jesus?
Today: The head of Saddam Hussein! I can't wait for tomorrow!
(Also a small chocolate christmas pudding. I'm addicted to chocolate...I'M SUCH A WOMAN! But it helps me attract big strong boys like Baloki, so what the hey! :D)
Apparantly when you open the 25th one you get jesus.
here's what i got:

...What's an Advent Calander?
I have a Celebrations calendar! Except I've had like 2 Topics in the past 4 days!! I don't like those so much. The Malteser ones = <3
And Jess, an Advent Calendar, is like a calendar with little doors on that you open each day, and they have a little picture and a chocolate behind. Or some don't have chocolates. Americans DO have advent calendars, right? ;__;
If they do, I bet they have really religious ones, instead of extremely commercialised ones like us Brits.Quote:

The only advent calendar I heard of before seeing this topic was one in some LoTR fanfiction. :P
I can still have chocolate every day 'til Christmas and know the date without an advent calendar. I'm one upping the Brits! Ha.
I had one of those when I was a kid. I think it was Dutch.
I don't have an advent calendar this year, but the last one I had had money in it.
Yes, Americans have Advent Calendars. But I've never had one with chocolate. Or anything edible. Just pictures. Yep.
Haven't had one in years though, as it was mostly a childhood thing.
We just re-use the same one every year. You open windows and doors in a Christmas vilage to see who's inside. I don't pay much attention to it.

An advent calendar is a calendar with stuff in it you get every day like candy, chocolate, or if it's a terrible one just holiday related pictures.
i'm not having an advent calendar this year. my mom has about 5 in the basement freezer they're all old :( and they're all the same :(
OMG you have the same one as me! :love:Quote:

I've got one without chocolate inside, since my parents think that sugary treats at 8:00AM are a bad idea.
I haven't opened any doors apart from the first one yet. I'm lazy like that. :)
I open all the doors and eat all the candy. Screw waiting for the new day. :(
I have a small cheap chocolate one that I keep in my rez, and back home we have one with cloth one. For each day we pin up a new ornament. :)
Oh! I know now! We have boring ones with pictures of lambs and baby Jesus. I want chocolate!!! :(
I got a santa in mine this morning, some how i think he was poisonous :choc:
I have a winnie the pooh advent calender. And the chocolates so far have all been of Winnie the pooh chracters. Ive always had ones with chocolate in i don't see whats fun about opening one and theres just a picture of a sheperd or something.I remember being disturbed when i went round to a freinds house and saw her advent calender didn't have any chocolate in it.And her mother said to her you haven't opened todays door on the calender. At this point i had to resist laughing. I thought if there were chocolate in that calender im she'd have remembered to open it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
My Mom's always had religous pictures. My Mom didn't like me eating candy. My Mom liked chocolate. One year my mom ate my Chocolate easter bunny! :cry: My Mom is weird.
I have a... MONEY!!!!! calendar. So every day, I get a shot at winning money, but usually I don't win anything. I won 20$ last year tho' :p
I got the ones with chocolate as a kid. And yes, to make you brits happy, it was indeed overly commercialized with Santa all over it and nary a infant diety to be found.
I want one... ;_;
Haha you eat them at 8:00 AM? FREAK!Quote:
