Who else buys themselves a traditional Advent Calendar?

I mean just with the little pictures.
I always do - we never had them as children. ? They weren’t nearly such a thing then.
I hope I’m not alone!

I bought this one in John Lewis a year or so ago - they’ve still got it and I’m tempted.
Last year I bought the grumpy old Raymond Briggs Father Christmas one - I liked him too, but I think the doggy one wins on points. ?

I love the old fashioned advent calendars.each one has a Bible picture.then I look up the picture in my Bible dictionary and read the verse for that day.more uplifting that sweet nasty chocolate
