I bought for this Thorntons' Cheeky Elf Advent Calendar for Wolfie, for a number of reasons. Because it is not one of those cheap Advent calendars but a fairly fancy calendar that has a chocolate of fairly good quality, with plenty of games to keep him entertained and patient waiting for Christmas. Or so I thought, in my naivety.I also thought that it is fitting that he has an Advent calendar featuring a cheeky elf. Better than Santa Claus himself, as he dislikes Santa Claus. It turned out that Wolfie understood very well the principle of eating chocolate for Advent. But he did not understand very well the principle of one chocolate a day. The first day was a real torture, when I told him he had to wait the next day to eat another one...

Te rappelles-tu des calendriers de l’Avent avec des cossins inutiles qu’on avait dans le temps. Les seuls cossins le fun étaient les anneaux occasionnels.
