Advent Calendar

I just put up our advent calender yesterday - fabric filled with treat size chocolate that I know is good quality and that people like.
My youngest (10) is delighted but now she seems to be the only one who admits to enjoying it.
Sob They are growing up - even the 15 year old has said rather pompously that she thinks Christmas Eve is quite soon enough to put up the tree and why not take it down again on Boxing Day ?
Am I odd for wanting to give them a nice Christmas ? ??? ???"This site is addictive!"

No, not at all. She's just being a teenager. Give her a couple of years and she'll love it again.
Try taking her advent calendar down until Christmas Eve. Bet she'll soon change her mind

Trust me in a few years they will want Christmas back again in all its glory!! As I have mentioned in other posts my two still want a stocking each and the advent calender at 20 and 27 years!!! ::)Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.
