    The first day of December is nearly here, that means it's Christmas time soon! But how do you know when it's actually Christmas? By using a countdown/advent calendar, of course! (It contains chocolate) Do you have one this year? :3

    I have a Simpsons one. XD; I had to like argue with Nan and Pop to get it though >_>;
     
    We only had one of those once. With every day there was a piece of chocolate hidden in a compartment.

    After each day passed, you got to take a piece of chocolate.

    Now that was nice. XD
     
    I used to get those all the time.

    I would make it to the 12th day, and the 13th I'd find that I was hungry and nothing around to eat, but I'd try to resist the temptation to open the rest and eat them, but failed.

    Don't get them anymore, though. :(
     
    I do have one up every year, but there isn't any chocolate in it. :(
    Its just a little star that you move everyday.
     
    I think I'm probably the only one who hasn't had an advent calendar with chocolates in it D:

    All the ones that my sister and I have had were the Playmobil ones which you add an object to the scene everyday. We also just had those ones you hand on the door and you move a little thing on each day.. But honestly, those were enough <3

    Really just the idea of counting down the days is great, like on my wipe board or in my planner :3
     
    Not right now, but I want one so bad. ;____; I loved them when I was a kid, and I'm a sucker for chocolate.

    I hope we make a shopping run soon, that way, I can see if other grocery stores have them. The one closest to us doesn't have them.
     
    No, I didn't get one this year. The chocolate is nasty anyways. If the chocolate was actually edible, that'd be a different story.

    I just cross off each day on my planner with a highlighter. I can figure out how many days are left without actually writing it down, even though I don't like the highlighter because it smudges the writing under it and it's hard to tell if I crossed off those assignments that were due or not.
     
    Yep! I've had an advent calendar every year since I was three, and I'm not about to not have one just because I'm an ~adult~ now. This year's model features Bumblebee from Transformers. And omg the chocolate nom nom nommmm <3
     
    No. :( I used to get one every single year but this year no one really said anything and I completely forgot about them. December came on fast this year. xD
     
    No, no I have not. They are aimed for children, opening a little cardboard door with a piece of chocolate behind it will not improve my day.
     
    I never knew these types of calendars even existed until I looked at this thread. 0_o

    That is my answer, but I have gotten regular calendars for the new year, if that somehow counts.
     
    Unfortunately i have a kids advent calendar >.<
    Spoiler:

    It's .. Awesome
