The first day of December and the first day of the twenty four day advent calendar.
Is that right?
I haven’t done my own advent calendar since the Carter Administration.
Advent really started Sunday when we lit the candle of hope! I actually twisted a bulb.
I twist bulbs on my Advent wreath and my Menorah. My faith has changed from lighting candles to twisting bulbs.
Back to the Advent calendar…. In 1979 I had shitty little chocolates shaped like something. Years later when I had kids the advent calendars had Legos, gummy crap, more little toys for me to step on and something called Pokémon.
“Hey Baby Jesus! Thanks for coming to save us! I gotta Lego Rocket launcher in my advent calendar today!”
I wouldn’t be surprised if they had participation trophy advent calendars.
I do like walking down the Advent Calendar aisle at Costco.
The range of daily presents is amazing….. for adults!
Twenty four bottles of craft beer, Twenty four bottles of Australian wine, twenty four bottles of Kentucky Bourbon and Twenty four chocolate shot glasses of liqueur.
I wonder if you can go to The Lovers Lane Store in Westmont and get an Advent Calendar?
24 teddy bear nightgowns, 24 edible undies and by all means the number one seller… 24 sex toys to prepare you for Santa Claus and Baby Jesus.
I’ll stick to my egg nogs and Christmas Carols while the rest of you tear open your daily box of Christmas Joy!
Don’t forget it’s National Pie Day!
Pecan, Blueberry, Hoosier Sugar, Two legged peach and apple pie!
These are a few of my favorite things!
