I think we all know by now that Christmas really is on it's way. The Christmas coca-cola advert is on show, advent calendars are in use, Christmas songs are on the radio and I don't know about you but I have recieved a Christmas card.
I think I may have mentioned this last Christmas, but this year I decided I would eat my advent calendar backwards 24-1 instead this year so I could could down the days until Christmas, just to have a change. Well I have started to do this (btw there is no big chocolate in the whole thing so that didn't matter) and apparently on the first day of December it was 'one sleep to go' haha! And now it seems Christmas is getting further away, and my advent calendar this morning told me it was 4 sleeps to go.
Now I know the term 'sleeps' is all cutesy but seriously... once your in your teens it isn't cute - it just makes you sound like a baby. There is nothing wrong with counting in days, although there is always the debate whether you should count the day you are currently on and whether you should count the day you are counting down to. But, that is besides the point. Basically, don't use the term 'sleeps' it is just horrible... let that be your lesson of today.
Also, I don't know if it is just me but I used to remember getting my advent calendar and loving the sound it made. The sound was due to the foil but this year the tin foil seems to have changed and it isn't as crackly as it used to be. Also part of the fun as a child used to be ripping the tinfoil. It never used to stay in one bit, but that was part of the fun. The ones 'nowadays' (geez that makes me feel old) seem to be so easy and come off in one bit. And for me, it had kind of taken away part of the attraction of advent calendars. I mean, I love them and everything and I wouldn't not want one but they have seriously changed.
Anyway, those are just some of the things I had noticed and thought I would share, don't know if anyone else feels the same but still. Hope you're all enjoying December so far. Can't wait to get some snooooow!!! *fingers crossed*
