Back in the day, (I'm talking early 1960s) my Advent Calendars were strictly two-dimensional and covered in glitter. All the doors, when opened, showed prettily coloured Christmas-themed religious scenes.... shepherds, Kings, angels, stables, gold, frankincense, myrhh.... then on Christmas Eve, a double door behind which was the nativity scene.
No chocolate
No sweets
No Simpsons/Barbie/My Little Pony/Transformers etc
Unlike today, when the rampant commercialisation of Christmas can yield just about anything on/in an Advent Calendar.
Which is why Small Dog received this......
Which is why this was the scene this morning......
That's a 'mmmmmmmnnmmm' face if ever I saw one.
We now have another 23 days of Small Dog's high expectations.
*sigh*
