  1. Even though my children were 20,18 and 12 last Christmas I bought the Lego advent calendar. William really liked it but the intent was to make a tradition out of it. It will be Granny's house when the time comes. I do still send chocolate advent calendars to the older children at university. How long will I do this for I wonder!
