It was good. Delicious even. These Dumle Christmas Calendars have some actually good stuff in 'em.

No... how old are you? o.0

I haven't had one for the last ten years or so... it's very much a childrens' thing in the UK.

EDIT: Also I think "lusting after" is a perfectly acceptable phrasing.

24. Why? :p

Oh, same here. I didn't know anyone got advent calendars into adulthood. ;)

Now I wish someone would buy me one... =(

I want to feel the cheap waxy chocolate refusing to melt in my mouth tomorrow morning.

Hmm, my wife is 27 and I made one myself for her... and yesterday my parents came to our home and we got one more self made :)

But that's totally different and awesome! I was mostly thinking of the commercial branded ones.

ah, okay. not have one yet, but had 2 last year :)

this year way less are sold in general, as they found out that from different brands (especially the more expensive ones) have a problem with mineral oil from the package going into the chocolate. not realy healthy :)

Shit, I can't get the chocolate out. It's been really hot the last couple days (nearly 40c) and the chocolate has all melted to the plastic. Either that or my $1.80 advent calender was just cheap shit. Probably a mix of both.

Phew, I'm not the only one.


That doesn't sound good.
