Who got advent calenders? Well, I certainly did. Only 25 shoplifting days left untiL Christmas, eh? :P

I got a WWE one.

So, everyone:

a) Did you get an advent calender?
b) If the answer to the aforementioned question is yes, which one?

"Ah it's just a bunch of men following a star, what's that got to do with Christmas!"

"Oh yes and what was your prediction again? Ruid Gullit sitting on a bench."

Or something like that, anyway those advent calender things, I used to slide all the chocolates out of the bottom and scoff the lot.

Since when did Christmas have anything to do with Jesus? Urgh, no matter the subject be it foxy boxing or Christmas there's always one person who has to find a way to involve "god".

In a moment of madness we decided to get a couple of these advent calenders in the office. So, we got a Simpsons one and, much to the protest of the ladies, a Kylie one. Someone has already bagged the two most popular squares on the Kylie one though.

And, yes, we have a rota drawn up for them too!

Now, on the subject, isn't it strange that these calenders, part of the countdown to Christmas and to the celebration of Jesus's birth, were orginally for this purpose and now we have not only calenders with popular cartoon characters and chocolate in, but (as with the Simpsons one) calenders that count all the way to new year's day. It's amazing that we could come so far in commercialism to accept this. Just shows what a mess this country is in for following American ideals.
