Despite me being too old for advent calendars, my nan still buys them for me every year. Not that I’m complaining.
I’m 51 and my mum still gives me an Easter egg every year
They are getting really fancy now, I’ve seen ones with miniature bottles of spirits in.
You mean you haven’t already asked, “are you too old for advent calendars?”. Expect the immediate, “NO!” response.
Mine are 20 and 28 😀
I got an advent calender for my Jehovahs Witness friend. Behind everydoor there was a person saying “Fuck Off”
I moved to the states 22 years ago and my mum still bought me a Cadbury’s advent calendar every year until she died. I was 31 when I moved.
I’m 42 and my mum always rolls up with one for me 😭
Since when was there an age limit on advent calendars? I’m 31 and have them every year.
We had a tradition of selection boxes every xmas day one day mum thought we were too old…she was wrong.
I’d be ecstatic if someone gave my an advent calendar
Me an my partner are almost 40 and we still get advent calendars given
My mum used to get me one until I was 28, she now gets one for my cat instead
I get my mum and dad advent calendars… They are in their 60s
38 here, and I’m expecting an advent calendar too…
Tell them, to grow up
I’m sorry? Did they stop being your kids?
And? I’m 30 and I expect one 🤣
No doubt my Mam will also give my partner who’s even older a calendar again too 🤣
When I own my own home, then I’m too old for advent calendars
Do it.
I’m 45. My mum always gets me an advent calendar
Find it funny when I hear friends in their 40’s discussing what presents they are expecting from their parents for Xmas.
Maybe it’s just a side effect of growing up poor and feeling excited and happy if we managed to have full day of food for Xmas. And being greatful for that from my mum.
The 27 years old can get it in their own fucking house tbh.

Never too old for free daily chocolate
if you’re from the UK, go get them advent calendars from Hotel Chocolate
my partner buys one for her mom & sister each year.
moms has chocolate behind every door
sisters has gin behind every door.
I’m not kidding
I’m 37 and have spent the last two decades being secretly dissapointed when no one buys me an easter egg.
I haven’t had one since I was a child… Is it normal to have one as an adult??
My daughter is 40 and still gets one . We are in Canada and I have to source them from the British stores to get ‘good’ ones
