It's finally December! Which means that Christmas will soon be upon us! To help count down the days until Christmas, many people buy advent calendars, opening each window correspondent to the day of the month. Usually the windows contain some chocolate, but some calendars may contain stuff like tea. A bit strange, but I suppose tea is good as well.
Do you buy, or have you bought, advent calendars? Are they the original chocolate ones or a calendar that's more extraordinary? I've always bought a chocolate advent calendar. They really are amazing 👌
Oh, and today happens to be St. Nicholas Day, so happy St. Nicholas Day!

I get a chocolate advent calendar every year because they are delicious! I had a bit of difficulty finding one this year, but I’m pretty sure it was due to the supply chain issues the US is experiencing right now. Also, last year I had a Lego Star Wars advent calendar, which was cool and different.

Are advent calendars really that big? For me, Asia doesn't do all this stuff. Some do celebrate Christmas but in my country, advent calendars would be considered as a Western thing

Yeah, they're most prominent in the West. I don't think they're all that popular in Asia

Advent Calendars are great, there has never been a year in my life where I haven't had one! I really enjoy the little chocolate surprises every day until Christmas :)

I've never bought one but am not opposed to doing so. Definitely a European tradition.
Weird, I’ve always thought of it as a big tradition in America.
