I only had the paper advent calendars as a child (with a religious picture behind each door rather than chocolate!) but they are very hard to find nowadays. <br /><br />Most advent calendars do have very cheap chocolate, it's part of their charm :)It's a shame you can't find the Lindt one, it's in a league of it's own in terms of the chocolate!<br />Grocery Gemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436322359512729609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804241257588608240.post-13780312375919441862012-12-06T20:48:09.151+00:002012-12-06T20:48:09.151+00:00I never knew about advent calendars when I was a c...I never knew about advent calendars when I was a child. I don't remember ever seeing them back then. I think I first saw something of the kind in Carrefour around 2005. I had no idea what they were and what was their purpose. I bought one and didn't know what was the deal with the numbers and doors. It was also quite cheap, so I wasn't delighted with the chocolate and I decided I don't need to try advent calendars anymore.<br /><br />I didn't get it until a year or two ago, when a friend got nostalgic one day and started spitting out memories of winter holidays, candles and... advent calendars. That was when I finally learned what they are and how they are meant to be used...<br /><br />I'd like to try the Lindt one, but unfortunately, this seems to be the first time in almost ten years since I discovered Lindt when I cannot find any Christmas-specific Lindt products in stores (well, except for repackaged Lindors).Ananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804241257588608240.post-10686724337800748972012-12-05T22:07:40.630+00:002012-12-05T22:07:40.630+00:00It is a fantastic idea isn't it?
