i got a wee mouse handing a parcel down the chimney... the chocolate was a cadbury's turkish delight miniature. :)
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    this thread is refreshingly AET :) It's been getting a little like the serious old moving train here at times, what with the serious poll business of having to choose my favourite sort of under pants, and sports....thank god you made it light again :)
    oh, btw...I haven't got an advent....they're for kids ;)
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Holden forgot to open it this morning! :eek:
    Maybe he wasn't feeling right.
    The first day was a little choo-choo and yesterday was a skier I think.
    Our advent calendars when we were kids didn't have anything put a little picture behind them.
    And now some people have them where you can put little trinkets in each box.
    Holden gets one from Trader Joe's every year.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    Talk about seeing things everywhere when you think about them. Having never heard of them as of Monday, I have now seen them in Starbucks, a Toy Store and in a window downstais from my office.

    :D I wondered how you hadn't seen them before. I want one!!

    I always had one as a kid. A couple years ago my mom bought one for my younger cousins and got an extra one for me. :D World Market has them for cheap, maybe I'll go after work on Friday and pick up some wine and an advent calendar. :D
