When I was a child in the 80s/90s we had the basic open one door Advent calendar. Loved it.
I’ve just watched a child on a small influencers account open a fancy looking electric toothbrush for the first day of her Advent calendar.
When did Christmas become this? I’m not Scrooge but I have great memories of Christmas, no such Advent calendars, no Christmas Eve boxes.
Have we lost the ability to step back & think we actually don’t need these things. We are burning up the planet with this crap & kids don’t need more junk toys & sweets.
