Got my kids an advent calendar with choccies each over the week-end. I explained to my six year-old daughter that it was one chocolate for each day in December up to Christmas.

1/2 an hour later I found that she had eaten the lot!

I asked her why she did that after I had explained how it worked. She said she didn't know that I meant the December this year.

Traditional, no choccy, no aliens, no Disney, no cartoons.

But . . . . . . . . . we all have a guess at what's behind each days' door, and whoever gets it right gets a choccy. Except me. I don't eat choccy, so I get sod all.

Recycled last years tree-shaped formation of drawers with fresh home made chocolates for the eldest. Recycled a hand-knitted row of stockings with Jelly Babies for the younger one.

Mars.

Cadbury's is nicer but they wanted Mars so they got Mars!

No chocolate for simply eating (as opposed to cooking) can match up to cadbury's milk for sheer scoffing pleasure, but you can't tell kids anything.
