I have a Christmas tree!

PS Anyone else think the size of the chocolate in the character ones has got smaller?

    Christmas cracker for me. ?

    Not sure about the size, seems the same - I always get the standard Cadbury's one though from my Gran...it's turned in to a tradition over the years.

    Yeah. I have Peppa Pig, my hubby has Fireman Sam and my son has a Simpsons one - they're all crap and tiny.

    My daughter has a Doctor Who one which is a different make and her chocolate is normal sized.

    I had a snowman in one, and a Santa hat in the other.

    Yes, I have 2 calenders. And, yes I'm a piggy and ate them both!

    I haven't got one this year. Every year, Mr B badgers me to get one and then he never bothers to open the doors and when he does, he just rips them open which annoys me because I like to follow the perforations and open it tidily, then remove all of the excess foil (OCD much?!)

    Was indeed. Advent calendars are clearly designed for midget children. I may start a company that does a whole chocolate bar a day. "Advent calendars for fatties" - company name is obviously a work in progress.

    I don't mind it, crap chocolate is half the fun of keeping the tradition of buying an advent calendar going, even at 25!

    Mine was the tree too.

    This sounds far too complicated!

    When I have my advent calender, I just want to rip open the window and scoff the chocolate. Where's Wally hurts my brain!!
