nearly..already..yes i know its scary…..
its that cheery reminder every morning with the excitement of a micro sized christmassy shaped chocolate from an advent calendar that starts off as something fun and then turns into a loud ticking clock and generally brings panic with the thought of ‘one less day..’
Our kids have always had one of those advent calendars that you have to put things in. Ours was a bus and we, every year, put chocolate coins in each little box and for a couple of years we also put little quiz questions or elements of the nativity story…just to add to the spirit of the year.
This year in a moment of tiredness and a quick trip to home and bargain..the kids convinced me that the chocolate calendar each thing was the way to go. So five were purchased and now i generally do my best to stop the dog or the toddler from getting hold of one of them and taking them apart. ah the joy of the season 😉
There are loads of online advent calendars you can have a go at, and guess what you might win something other than a small chocolate spade! Check out the Butlins one on their facebook page and you can win anything from a mp3 player to a weekend break! Thats go to be worth a go. Butlins advent
But really there is no way of getting away from it now…its time to kick back, let Mr Buble take the reins and jump right on in.
My 2 year old darling protests greatly at Mr buble…..despite my best efforts I cave in to her moans, so we are very much bereft of his dulcet tones in our house 🙁 The big day is nearing indeed.
