and what's better, today is declared a holiday in celebration of the islamic new year and the uae national day which is officially celebrated on the second of december.
mr t is starting a tradition of having advent calendars at home. i am not quite familiar with this as i'm guessing it's mostly a european or german tradition, to be specific.
advent calendars are used as count downs in anticipation of christmas day. the one that we have has 24 cloth sheets with pockets that has to be filled in with chocolates or small gift items. ours is shaped like a (hostaged) bear.kyot!!!
since baby is still too young to appreciate the relevance of it, mr t is offering it to a very willing and captive audience member - me! hahaha.
it's hanging by our kitchen door...
today i took out my first treat, much to my delight! yes, i'm very easy to please, as you may know by now...
winner! hahaha. lovee eett!
thank you, mr t! dear friends, watch this space for daily updates of my advent treats! and lest we forget, christmas is not just about material gifts, ok? ok. just so we are clear.
p.s. oma and opa also brought an advent calendar from munich for baby. here it is, hanging by her cabinet:
