Advent calendars

[missyburd]

Does anyone actually have one?

I have two :mrgreen:. Purely by accident, my housemate wanted one but had to get the 2 for £3 offer so I chipped in and then me mum sent me one (even though she's forgotten the last 2 years :rolleyes:). One Mars and one Cadburys :-D

EDIT: More interestingly, at what point did you grow out of them/just see it as a waste of money?

[zsv650]

i have one just hypes christmas up that bit more not long to go now.

[gettin2dizzy]

Nope. I'm a scientologist.

[missyburd]

I don't actually like Christmas. I do however like chocolate. Oh dear, it shall be my downfall.

[DarrenSV650S]

I don't actually like Christmas.
Why why why?

[zsv650]

Nope. I'm a scientologist.

It is.


Speilberg is a level 7.

[missyburd]

Why why why?
It's commercialized rubbish, a load of added expense, an excuse for my family to argue due to excessive alcohol consumption, nothing but crap on the box, an excuse for junk wrapped up in paper to be disguised as presents, added stress for my mother...I could go on but I don't wish to bore you :-D

The only good things about it: the roast dinner (which in truth could be held anytime of the year, more commonly every Sunday...) and the advent calendars :mrgreen:

So anyway, bah humbug :smt040

[zsv650]

It is.

Louis- :notworthy:

I wish the BBC would release all of his weird weekends. Truly excellent stuff.

And yes; they're mental.

[zsv650]

louis a legend think the weirdest one he did was the most hated family in america they were strange people indeed hahahaa.

[gettin2dizzy]

Yeah, that was a good one. If you like his programs google his name on google video. There's a lot of complete episodes :thumbsup:

THe Hamiltons was an excellent episode, as was Jimmy Saville and Wrestling

[zsv650]

cool i'll check em out cheers.

[missyburd]

There's a new addition (well I've only noticed it this year) to advent calendars now, tin foil wrapping! You open the little door and then have to rip through tin foil to get to the choc, just isn't the same! But then it does keep the chocolate fresh so not toooo bad :mrgreen:

[yorkie_chris]

You need to see the south park episode about scientology, tom cruise is still in the closet.

[missyburd]

Maybe the mods should rename this thread, I see scientology is way more interesting than advent calendars :lol: :mrgreen:

[zsv650]

my advent calendars isnt foil wrapped mind you the chocalates not that good either.

[joshmac]

[joshmac]

[edit] I dont actually like malteasers btw, im just jelous that your calendar is better

[missyburd]

I like the cadbury's choc and the mars isn't too bad. I wish they'd make Lindt/Milka advent calendars, they'd make a nice change :-D

[Miss Alpinestarhero]

Now that is a good idea :mrgreen:

[Ceri JC]

A mate brought a few of us Kinder advent calendars back from Strasbourg a couple of years back. I'm not exaggerrating, it was about two inches deep and behind every door was either a small kinder bar, a small bueno bar, or a kinder egg. Best advent calendar I have ever seen by a long way.

[missyburd]

That sounds yummy, perhaps I should go abroad next year especially for one!

I think I'd rather go to the effort of flying abroad than go through labour twice JUST for a bit of chocolate! See, sensible me :takeabow:

[Paws]

[dizzyblonde]
