Yep, I love it! Had a miniature bottle of brandy yesterday and a packet of chewing gum today. Cheers me up every morning.

I disagree with one thing in your above post which is that you are too old for an advent calendar, you are never too old for an advent calendar!!!! And I think that your advent calendar sounds REALLY fabulous

Mr Thrifty didn’t come out the bargain bin did he? How lovely. Let’s start a trend for Ho, Ho Husbands (much better than those Ho Ho houses!) Merry Christmas!

Good morning Miss Thirfty. Lovely Xmassy post about the Advent Calendars. Daily gifts from your Advent Calendar is a strong German tradition. Although we’re English we’ve lived in Berlin for donkey’s years and love the rustic kitsch of German Advent. Xmas really starts here on the first Advent Sunday (in November!) Such calendars are in everyone’s home (except ours – just too much to do at this time of year alas!) and then to go with them, delicious home-made biscuits and coffee consumed around the table with family and guests in front of pretty candles. Actually, come to think of it, the Germans do Christmas in charming old-world style. Wish I had a useful thrifty-style comment to add here – ‘fraid I’ll just have to stick to seasonal good wishes. Am so pleased I found your site.
Happy Christmas to one and all
Serena
