So, here you have Day 8, a smiling moon:
And Day 9, a guy riding a horse:
Joe, always the gentleman, generously volunteered, "I'll eat one if you eat one." I couldn't convince him to eat both, so I took him up on the offer, which was better than the alternatives. He ate the moon, I ate the horse.
I've never had a chocolate Advent calendar before, and I don't have time right now to research the history of chocolate Advent calendars, but I'm a little curious about the shapes of the chocolate. I figured they'd have a little more to do with Christmas. It's not like I want a baby Jesus shaped chocolate (actually, I do), but one shaped like Santa or a reindeer would strike me as more fitting than an airplane or a guy riding a horse. Or a moon. Here's an idea of the chocolate shapes everyone else is getting in their Advent calendars.
Now that I'm back on track, I'll try to cook up something a little more fun for Day 10.

Spoiler alert!!! You get Santa on the 25th.
It sounds like someone has already eaten all the chocolate in their Advent calendar...
Growing up, we had a cloth wreath deal that came with cloth ornaments, I guess, for the wreath that had velcro on the back so that they would stick to the wreath. Anyway, there was one for every day of December leading up to Christmas. I don't recall if it went past that.
Santa was always on the 24th, if memory serves, and Baby Jesus was on the 25th.
The star came along at some point. maybe it was the 26th, the wisemen the 27th, and Jerry Falwell on the 28th. That sounds right.
