Counting down

"When can we have all the chocolates?" asked George, as he opened the second of his advent calendars.

I pointed out to him that when I was I kid, not only did I have to share an advent calendar with my brother and sister, when you opened the little cardboard window there was just a picture underneath.

He looked at me as if I was making it up, which made me feel as if I was the fifth Yorkshireman.

Bit of an early blip today as we're off to uphold another Christmas tradition.
