Cellar Advent Calendar

Sundae · 12-02-2008, 09:17 AM

When I was a child, advent calendars had pictures of the Holy Birth. I don't mean 24 days of Mary sraining, I mean the Anunciation, the journey to Bethleham etc. I was horrified when Barbie advent calendars started appearing in the shops, with chocs behing each picture, even though I'd left my faith behind by then.

In fact, up until RK made me a more militant atheist, I still looked for Christian Christmas cards every year, just because it had meant something to me growing up.

As you were anyway, just sayin'.
