Nearly there!

We've used this advent calendar for years. It's ideal for putting a small wrapped chocolate or sweet in each pocket and the girls alternate day-by-day. For some days this year Mme A has found a "stocking filler" which is hidden in the house according to the paper clue in the pocket. 

And what do we hear from the girls? "We wish Christmas here was a bit more normal: we've never had a commercial advent calendar!" 

Why do we bother!
