A Christmas Countdown

Remember when candy was life? It didn't matter what kind or what time of day it was. I remember receiving an advent calendar from my uncle, Victor, when I was little. Every day in December I got to open a little window and devour the chocolate behind it. This cute little calendar was given to us at the beginning of December and I took this picture today. I am pretty good at waiting until the date arrives when I get to rip the snickers off or tootsie roll. But other than that, it's become more of a candy dish that hangs on our wall...from the looks of it, the mints, rolos and hershey kisses will probably stay in the "dish" long after Christmas.
