Advent calendars and all that

 I had intended to post a picture of my Advent Calendar this morning-

Normally, with the odd exceptions, it is the style of calendar I grew up with, produced in Germany. I like the sentimental, nostalgic vibe . Often they feature an idealised landscape and reek of growing up in the sixties for me. Even though my daughters are grown up they each get sent a wee calendar to where ever they are living and bring it home with them to complete by Christmas here. Here is a link to an online Advent Calendar Museum -
