After my son opens a window he dips his little hand into the Quality Street tin I bought reduced in the supermarket.
Before he knew we were doing this he was so upset I wouldn't get him a chocolate calender but I told him the whole point of Christmas, the whole message was lost to him.
"It's not all about presents, presents, presents you know!"
Tis though innit, about gifts.
The gift of life; our families, our friends, our selves.
It's a moment to celebrate all we have and be thankful for it.
I wish you all a very very Merry Christmas and a bountiful New Year!

I love your advent calender. I used to try to have one myself but I can't find them here...It seems that people see Christmas as a time to spend cash, and place consumption as more important than family and friends, peace etc
At the end of this year (Happy New Year, tis January 1st!), if I'm still about, send me your address and I'll get you one! Your comment exactly the reason I bought the one I did!
