The video is dark because I was too lazy to drag out the lamp we have and turn it on.  Yes the room light is on but it's not enough to have a well lit talky blog.  I just wanted to do a quickie.  You know, a quickie? :)  I am not apologizing I am just telling you I know it's dark, I know WHY it's dark.  Moving on...

I just read the first day of Matt's (x-entertainment.com) Advent Calendar.  Santa assigned two people per Calendar, and they opened the first ones.  We also got an update on everybody's lives.

When I was 8 years old, my oldest sister was in German club in high school and they were selling Advent Calendars and with my Grandparent's money she bought me one.

I got a kick out of it.  I was a nice kid so I wouldn't dare open them all at once.  And I remember feeling like being responsible, in charge of opening the paper doors once a day to see what kind of picture lies inside.  Even though I was the one eating all of the chocolate.

I also remember I was going to go visit my other Grandma (my Grandma from my Dad's side) and I had a problem.  Do I take the Calendar with me or do I just eat the ones I missed when I come back home?  I honestly barely remember if I took it or not lol I think I ate a lot of them the day I came home.  They were about 5 of them I needed to eat to catch up.  My other Grandma was strict so I think I was worried if she would be bothered by the concept.

Well, this last couple of years I have seen them in the stores but I didn't get to get one.  I was flat broke when I saw them and by the time I had the money there were nowhere to be seen.  This year though I glanced at the stack of them at Rite Aid while quickly buying Peppermint Peeps (which are good if you like munching on Altoids or peppermint lifesavers, I bet they are really good with hot chocolate)

So Monday I went back with money in hand and I got an Advent Calendar.  Tah-Da! 1 buck.  I think they are worth it I mean you saw the joy I got on video, a minute or two of bliss and a tiny bit of chocolate multiplied by 24 is a damn good deal for a buck (plus tax, which I didn't pay I live in Oregon remember)

This from what I remember is the EXACT same one I got when I was 8!  There were about 5 pictures to choose from.  I saw this one and I thought yes this is the one I am getting, it's the same one I got over 15 years ago!

  I bet there are rich snobby kids that get delicious Truffles in products like this one but this is good enough for me.  One buck Ladies and Gentlemen.  Peace out :)
