The Advent Calendars

We are the first day of Advent, at least when it comes to the secular, non liturgical countdown to Christmas. In other words, it is the first day of December and the countdown to Christmas starts today for Advent calendars. We have three this year, three cheap(ish) ones which images don't look at all like the lush image you find on this picture. I bought this one a few years ago, in our local independent sweet shop, back when we had one. It was a nostalgic Advent calendar. The chocolate in it was good, but the image even better. This year will be special enough though: little Wolfie is starting to be more conscious about the whole Christmas thing and will soon understand at least part of the ritual. Although I don't know if he has the patience to eat only one a day...
