I can’t remember having an Advent calendar. Mam used to buy cheap chocolate anyway, so best not to have one. On charity giving, I donate to a local one that supplies Christmas dinner to the homeless, also meals and other basics through the year, and to a local food bank. I remember what a struggle Christmas was, wouldn’t have managed without my parent’s help.
Donating towards Christmas dinners and food banks is a great idea. I'm relying a lot on my parents this year with contracting the way it is - solving that problem shortly, fingers crossed. Not sure where I'd be without them, at times. Interesting that a time about giving is also a time when some struggle the most. Seems counterintuitive, and I'm not sure what that says about it.
