Not to sound like one of those war-on-Christmas, curse-this-heathen-society weirdos, but I'm sad that Divine chocolate don't have the story of the nativity inside their advent calendar any more. Where you get a bit of the story every day like this:

I'm aware that:

I already know the Christmas story

I've read this exact version many times as a child

If I somehow forget I can just open the Bible and read it there

But I had one of these advent calendars from my grandparents every year growing up, so they're nostalgic, and I miss having a little bit of the story every day as part of the countdown to Christmas.

Anyway, I'm sure if any website can understand the appeal of reading a well-known story slowly in small pieces over many days, it's the website that popularised Dracula Daily.

#divine chocolate #advent calendar #christianposting #i wonder when they changed it #the 2020 calendar still has religious imagery on the cover - idk if that means the story is still inside #i can't really find any more information #religion tag #is it an attempt to be more inclusive?#because the new art doesn't show imagery for any other winter holidays - it's just a christmas tree #and i really don't think there's a shortage of secular advent calendars available #maybe it's just reduced demand?#i dunno
