Advent Calendar For Those Who Are Dreading Christmas

phoenix that's a great idea too.

Lovely suggestion, thanks for joining in and putting something forward :-)

Anything that helps people who find the run up to Christmas as difficult as Christmas.

For me it was about finding ways to have something positive/ happy, anything to brighten the days.

More ideas very welcome.

No Brazil nuts?

Or we could just try this?

152 days until Easter. The first door on the Easter Day calendar has a plain chocolate Brazil nut inside.

allsortsofbags This is a terrific idea and thanks for posting about it. Although I have a lot of allergies and food intolerances, there is just one brand of 100% chocolate that doesn't make me ill, so I'm going to go for it - a positive daily message with a chunk of choc! Because I'm worth it

yggdrasil Good idea, for any of us who like chocolates we could arrange that as well

In fact if we bought our own chocolates we'd be sure to get exactly what we like and if we feel like pushing the boat out so much the better

allsortsofbags what a good idea! Yes, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by “what ifs” and “if only”, especially at this time of year when every advert, every magazine, lots of TV programmes are showing us perfectly cooked turkeys served up to impeccably behaved children and smiling relatives, when many of us feel that we’re only just holdoing things together. Just reminding ourselves of the things we can do, the successes we have had and are having every day, can do a lot to improve our lives.

I'd rather have one with chocolates
