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 well. We still get chocolate out of it, eh Peeb? And plus, I'm an aethiest.
"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".
;)
very.
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.
It has quite good choclate, they are as thick as two pound coins, and just have numbers on. its a new years one as well.
