Mildly unseasonal

[telophase]

myrialux and I have, for the past few weeks, been buying and opening Advent calendars, usually in the mid-afternoon when he gets antsy for coffee and makes himself some and me some tea.



This started when I found the LEGO one and bought it, knowing it would probably sell out soon. And we decided to just...open it, no point in waiting until December.




I'd have to find where myrialux has squirreled away the minifigs that we've got so far--they're in hiding from Some Cat.



Then there were the Ghibli socks. Not a traditional Advent calendar, but a package of 8 pairs we opened one by one. Two pairs are in the wash right now. Calcifer and...I should know, but I've forgotten.



And the Hello Kitty OPI nail polish calendar. The bottles are teeny and adorable. They are also packed in alphabetical order, myrialux realized the other day.




This candy one is the big splurge so far, and the box is so beautiful and well-made that we're going to keep it and re-use it for small items in the future. Most of the candy is of the gummy persuasion, alas, but there's been nothing really terrible so far.




And here is the most recent--a Moomin 75th Anniversary Advent calendar that arrived today! Presumably when it's all done it becomes a board game--the thing Moomintroll is sitting on opens up and looks like one, and a d6 accompanied Moomintroll. I haven't read the back of the box because I don't want to accidentally find out what I might be getting.



If you know of any interesting Advent calendars, let me know!

I LOVE the Ghibli socks.

I do, too! They are, however, very very slippy on our laminate floor so they need to be worn with shoes, and in these times I have put on shows almost never.

Shoes almost never. I have not put on any shows.
