Comments on: Advent Calendar Disgrace! http://matthewneale.net/2008/12/10/advent-calendar-disgrace/ Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:32:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Guy http://matthewneale.net/2008/12/10/advent-calendar-disgrace/#comment-11 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 11:51:16 +0000 http://matthewneale.wordpress.com/?p=83#comment-11 I have just a few observations:

1) You are making the assumption that all the children sharing the advent calendar DESERVE to have equal shares; maybe age should be a factor here, or maybe aggregate naughtiness over the year…

2) I think you are an anomaly: don’t most children get an advent calendar each?

3) The only disgrace here is not the fact that you bought such a terrible looking advent calendar nor that you wrote extensively about it in your blog, but the fact that you also took a photo of it and uploaded it to Flickr!!

Hope you have a great x-mas.

*My sister ate an entire month’s worth in one sitting when she was three or so. She will deny this, but we all know the truth. This happened on Day 5 or 6.
