    Lads, for sure thought someone would've started a thread for this :D OK, so I'm no longer a younger type person ;), but I still always have an advent calendar, it's the law!!

    So this year I have gone for the Cadbury's one, mainly because I left it so late in buying one and this was the nicest one left. Delighted to open it and have my first Christmas chocolate of the season.

    So, which one do you have?? ;)

    I still buy one for my two, and one of them is in his 20's.:o
    (actually it's for me really)
    Just a bit of fun, to get them into the spirit of things in this day and age.

    A question tho, I got my daughter a cadbury's one and she pointed out yesterday that there was no 25TH!!
    What's that about?
    It's usually the BIGGEST one. :(

    YEAH!! :eek:I noticed that as well, once I got home. The Mars one goes until the 25th AND there's a little bar on the 25th. Having said that I will eat soooooooooooo much rubbish that day that I probably won't miss the extra chocolate ;) Still, would be nice to open a door.

    I thought it ends on the 24th because the 25th is actually Christmas, not advent any more?
    However, I remember on Father Ted that Dougal opened his calendar on Christmas day, because he got 'A load of people in a stable' so perhaps they vary. :)
