QuietDude · 1st Dec 2010, 04:29 AM

DanielleBabyx · 1st Dec 2010, 06:03 AM

Revan · 1st Dec 2010, 08:03 AM

Mine's a Simpsons calendar, i haven't opened it just yet but I will be in the next hour!

**Ben** · 1st Dec 2010, 09:35 AM

The shop only had a choice between "Ben 10", "Pippa Pig" and "The Simpsons".
My boyfriend got the Simpsons one, and I got the Pippa Pig. Because Pippa the Pig is cute!

My roomie has a chalk board one where she writes down how many days until christmas.
Growing up we had a plush one at home with lots of animals and people from the nativity scene. As the days went buy you would take a character out and start to build the scene (I would get so mad at my brother when we were little because he would always want to mix all the characters up and do it out of order!) It was fun.

I would get one but I'd end up eating all the chocolate in one day. I'm a fatty

heatqueen · 1st Dec 2010, 12:47 PM

I've got one!!

Was really excited when I realized it was the 1st of December and I could start eating it! ^_^

**Lexington** · 1st Dec 2010, 03:29 PM

I don't have one this year.

Weirdly, my mother used to make one (each) for my brother and myself every year. She'd take posterboard, make a December calendar page, and then glue/tape a piece of candy on to every day. Usually one of those Hershey's miniatures or a lollipop. I remember getting excited on Mr Goodbar days, and feeling gyped when it was Special Dark day.

Oh yeah, it's now the 2nd of December here, Calender time!

I got a Snowman today.

**Martin** · 1st Dec 2010, 08:38 PM

I always forget to buy one.

I guess it's a good job really. Whenever I have had one I've always ate them all in one day because I cannae be bovvered waiting for one each day. >.<

Z3ni · 3rd Dec 2010, 04:35 PM

Omg!! I used to love them in primary school..

When the teacher opened the first door, I was like "Oooooo..Aaaahh . .. A chocolat!"

Ok I lied.

3rd Dec 2010, 07:22 PM

Don't have one yet and the chances of getting one now are slim to none.

Its last year all over again. I cried last year coz i couldn't get one. =/

who am I · 21st Dec 2010, 07:44 AM

I used to get one when I was younger. I haven't bought one in many years. Think its another way for the shops to get money out of you.
