Post by: chocolate chick on October 26, 2011, 01:29:47 pm: Now I know it's a bit early but.....
Has anyone picked out their advent calendars yet?

i'm hoping for a lindt one this year as well.

I did see a nice minnie mouse one in poind land but then I thought that chocolate is just going to taste so bad

Yes, but if it was a Hersey advent calendar, you WOULD be better off eating the pictures - for starters, they'd taste better!
