Gee, they must have loved me.
These days it's hard to find an advent calendar without chocolate. And, as I discovered, hard to find an advent calendar at all on November 30th. At least an advent calendar that didn't cost as much as a full-blown present. They're getting fancier and fancier - and more expensive.
Our own is refillable.
Which reminds me: we've not opened any of the drawers yet, what with it being Husband's birthday and having a surfeit of yummy things.
Note: Waitrose salted caramel big chocolate buttons are delicious and very moreish. So much so I now feel sick. Better go and walk George and get some fresh air. And practise my Moses talk.
I wonder if I could launch into a rendition of Moses supposes. I have a sneaky feeling I've posted this clip before and fairly recently but you can't have too much of Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor.

You claimed "These days it's hard to find an advent calendar without chocolate".
Not so here in Germany, for just short of €300 you can get an erotic advent calender
with 24 sex toys, undies, condoms, vibrators, pornos and dildos worth €450 if individually priced (they claim). It assumes you are hetero though.
Here's the link at Amazon.de :-

Have you purchased one, Stu?
Now I have to check out Stu's link too -- sounds like a real "Joy to the World" advent calendar!
You can get them without chocolate in the UK. The best places are church/cathedral shops or in those pop up card/calendar stalls in town centres that appear in late November.
The one we have this year seems to be telling the Christmas story behind the windows. Two angels so far...
We also have an advent candle which this year proved more difficult to obtain.
Hope you found Stu's dodgy site, Debra!
Yes, Cherrypie, I could have looked there but the grandchildren expect chocolate now. I've never had an advent calendar. You must have to watch it quite carefully to make sure it doesn't burn too far each day!
The candle burns slowly over dinner. It causes us to linger a while with each other :-)
Think I might leave advent calendars, erotic or otherwise, for others.
I'm going to be building our crib soon and moving the Kings day by day to Bethlehem instead. Though there might occasionally be chocolate involved ...
Lovely, Cherrypie!
That sounds nice, Sonata. Although i think I may invest in an elf on a shelf this year ...
I love the advent candle if have seen quite a few NON chocolate advent calendars .
You said the word . "expect" . I don't buy NY grandchildren an advent calendar at all . Harsh . Haha that I leave to the parents. I really can't believe you have never had an advent calendar ..
