My very own Advent Calendar....

Am I a lucky girl or what?

There are so many advent calendars out there nowadays, ones with tea in them, like this one from David's Tea, which I am sure is already sold out:

or one with smelly/beauty things in it, like this one from the Body Shop:

I decided to go with this one:

 Lovely pictures inside of it:

 and this is what is inside door #1, gummy candies.  

I thought it would make a change from chocolate.

Do you have an advent calendar this year?

A Christmas song to start your day:

A story about a nana and her grandson......

The conversation went sort of like this:

Nana: I think you're getting too old for Advent calendars.....

Grandson:  (insert whiny voice here) but Nana, Christmas wouldn't be the same without the advent calendars.....

Nana: okay I'll keep on sending them.

This conversation happened around 6 or 7 years ago when ds was probably around 21 or 22.......

Yesterday I went to the post office to pick up a parcel that my mother sent..........yep the advent calendars.  Ds will be 29 in April and dd is 27 on Saturday..........

I wonder if I'll be a soft touch like my mam is when I have grand kids?  Now son-in-law doesn't get one as dd ends up eating his as well!!!

My poor old hand is still sore....that's why I haven't been on the computer much.
