you know those advent calendars they come out with at xmas time? the ones with little chocolates behind each of the numbered doors? well, it's a tradition in my family that i get an advent calendar every december. when they first started there were only pictures behind the doors, but it was still a lot of fun to open a new door every morning and discover what lay behind it. when the chocolate ones started coming out circa 1985, everything changed. i mean, come on. where chocolate is involved, people sometimes go a little crazy.
well, over the years i've morphed my advent calender tradition into something dark and a little a sad. when i get my my calendar for the year, i immediately open all of the doors and eat all of the chocolate. every last one of them. then i close all the little doors and open them again on their proper days leading up until xmas. that is my confession, may i burn in hell.
here's an appropriately-themed photo i took while stuck in traffic for two hours last night. no wonder they call them jingle bells! *snark*
that's a wonderful photo. i really, really like it!
been there, taken that. heh, honestly, i've got whole rolls from grade 11 that look just like that.
i love it, though! so good!
