Thank you for stopping by! My youngest one would come downstairs and pout, “Ma, there is nothing in the Advent Calendar” with that kind of tone that totally says, “and now I am going to grow up and become a serial killer or the greatest writer in the world.” I am going on biz trip tomorrow (actually 6:30 am flt this morning – argh. sucks ass…) so I pre-filled the calendar. I am sure he will find that to be “distasteful” as well.

My kids’ Catholic church frowns on Santa, and Rudolph. Too much spot light on them and not on Jesus, I presume, and to some extent, I understand their position. You should go get yourself one. Not a Catholic church, silly. I meant an Advent Calendar! And make Tim leave a diamond every day. Won’t that be something?!

It’s, what? December 7 now? Not a single day has been done on our Advent calendar. I suck at motherhood.

I miss Advent Calendars…I always used to get that cardboard kind with tiny chocolate inside each window…except for the last one. The last one was aways a huge Santa…which always seemed a little weird since the rest of them were like sheep and stars and probably a haybale…

Woo hoo!! You did AWESOME for NaBloPoMo!! I’m kinda sad to see November come to an end for a purely selfish reason; I liked reading your posts every day!

Your Christmas card idea is awesome, by the way!! Oh, the story of that James Garfield and his missing patches of hair. That would be soooooo funny if you ever sent something like that out!

Congratulations on finishing the BlowNoHoSoDoFroSlo! I could have NEVER done it. My brain is far too empty to come up with witty things to write every single day…

As for the advent calender. I’m a cheapo. I head to Trader Joe’s and buy the crappy ones they sell. It works for my kids. And I’ll be shopping at Walgreen’s this year for Xmas. What 2 year old wouldn’t love menthol mouthwash and a box of paper clips?

Thank you m’lady as if I am not obsessed with making sure my kids don’t turn into serial killers!!!! Good thing we still have milk and bread at home…
I bet those people that named those strip clubs didn’t have an Advent Calendar when they grew up either!

Hmm. That would be how serial killers are made: parents forgetting to pretend to be tooth fairies… and also Advent Calendars: Mother forgetting to put treats in. (worse than having NO Advent Calendar)
Thanks for visiting my blog!!! And I am glad that your nose is safe. Since we need your nose to be intact so you can continue to put it in between a book when you read. (eh, I am trying to be funny there. Biblio = book worm = reading books = nose in between covers. Get it? Good. I don’t either.)

Consider yourself lucky then, m’lady.

I never had an Advent Calendar and look at how I turned out. You better keep it up and make the prizes good.

Also, liquor nips…a brilliant idea.
