Advent

There are some people who believe that being with friends and family is more important at Christmas time than things of actual value. I, however, have always been a firm believer of the latter and was delighted when I received my "Adorable Lindt bear and friends advent house" in the post. Top work there Mum!

For the month of december I gave up cereal and transitioned, with a surprising amount of ease, onto chocolate each morning. Day one was a little disappointing with only a mini Lindor 'truffle', at least each one is lovingly made by the swiss chefs just like in the adverts. The second day definitely made up for it though when I received a little Lindt teddy bear. Over the whole period I got 6 mini chocolate snowdrops with a creamy double milk filling, 6 Lindor mini chocolate truffles with a smooth melting filling, 5 Lindt Chocolate Napolitains, 3 Lindt Mini Bears, 3 Lindt Gold Reindeer and finally, this morning, my calendar gave me a full sized Lindt Teddy Bear, which I half ate before I took the picture, hence why his face looks like he just had a botched batch of botox, I couldn't resist. 

Overall I would say that the calendar was a success and I actually looked forward to waking up and discovering what chocolate I would get each morning. Could I eat chocolate every day for breakfast? Most definitely, but I must admit that I'm super duper excited for my next bowl of cereal! I would give the calendar a 4/5 as the chocolates were evenly distributed in size. I'm already looking forward to next year's.
