Is my wife crazy or what?

She’s crazy.

If I got that great gift, I'd follow her rules!

Ok, that’s a good point.

Is my wife crazy or what?

 
    to tell you the truth even when i was a child i couldn't wait to open every box one day, everything one time !!!! (it would be torture to wait  )  and it's not a big set  if you would opened it partly for almost 30 days what would you get each day  a sword or a helmet ?

 



it's a nice set i haden't noticed it  i'll buy it probably...
 
that's the set :

Well yes, I have the forest calendar and if you do it one little box per day as you are supposed to do, some days, in the forest case, you just have a fox, or a plant to place....
I couldn't do it.... it would be so boring.
So wow I'm thinking, what is the meaning of these "one box per day" thing of the advent calendars? Does it have a religious root?

hmm... i don't know does anyone know if so?) i think they do it for children so every day they come from school to have a present ( this sounds a little stupid that i said)  anyway to see it as a game and wait anxiously for compleating the whole set i guess

There are 24 days until Christmas & opening 1 box a day gives children or "collectors" something to do each day as the 25th day approaches to occupy their interest.

Oh so it is just a game....I thought it had  some religious thing about it. Anyway, I LOVE calendars!

Of course there is a religious meaning to it.

Not in the Playmobil's calenders content! Their purpose shows to occupy a child's attention toward the special final day. The items in this advent calender are not religious in nature.

I would end up losing all the little parts if I were to open one window each day. 

Ill wait till the 24th.

Each of my kids have an advent calendar and I hav eto say I much prefer the older ones where you open the little boxes. Some days the box contains a very boring item though. I might just erect the sets and give them a candy one this year (ps - we call candy/sweets lollies in Australia)
