Despite my daughter's been 18 and 20, they stole one a chocolate advent calendar. And this

makes me so happy. The little girls they were are still there. They're still alive, the spirit

of them. Chocolate Advent calendars. As a kid, the chocolate Advent Canada opening up the tiny little door, getting

the tiny little chocolate, was part of Christmas to me. Just loved it. I wasn't allowed to have

the chocolate one. We just had the picture one. What do you mean? The picture one is just literally

that. You open the door and you get to look at a new picture each day. Oh no,

and did they wheel that out each year

so you knew what was behind the door?

No, it's still a new one.

Same thing, made out of cardboard.

Actually,

one of the saddest things I've heard

about a kid at Christmas.

Obviously, years before I ever knew

there was chocolate versions.

Oh, my word.

So you open it and...

Was that the old tight old man?

You should open it and see a picture of a cottage in the snow.

Open it.

Right.
