I get to open my first window in my advent calendar today. Yay for one piece of chocolate per day!

Does anyone else count down the days to Christmas in some way?

Nope, no counting down here.

Yes, I count down to every weekend so I can see my girl again.

That's the same day as my room mate and 5 days after mine.

I count down to Christmas every year....I think its because all my friends are girls....and they like to count things down.

I've been counting down Christmas since about August.

Yeah, I count down for christmas. There's a thread in a forum I post at with an "official" countdown. Funny how people count down for Christmas, not the birth of Christ.

Although you're halfway there with an advent calender.

The only reason I like Advent calendars is because each day contains a little chocolate along with the standard old proverb.

I cannot believe they now stopped selling Advent calendars at some places, and now have the countdown going to New Years instead of Christmas! It is stupid!

I countdown by observing the Advent Wreath every week at Mass.

I have an advent wreath too. I pray with it everyday.

Used to do that Advent thing. Now don't care anymore really. Just another day except that I get some new boxers

Funny how X-mas has almost nothing to do with the Christ anymore. People just don't care anymore.

But Christmas isn't biblical anyway. Jesus was born earlier, not in the winter.

i don't particualrly like christmas...it depresses me because everybody ( and by everybody i mean EVERYBODY i know) gets presents while for me it's just another regular day at home played PC games and stuff...

life sucks!....mostly.
