Some people have home-made wooden mini-cabinets with pull-out drawers for every day of December (since they've long since not be true Advent, but rather 24 days til Christmas calendars) from which they draw small presents; these would be considered rather fancy, for people who can afford tradition. Almost every child has at minimum a cheap-o thing with little chocolates. The Lego Advent calender would probably figure somewhere in between. A friend from England bought one for our son last year thinking the whole thing rather amusing. It's not normal but I wouldn't be surprised if some parents did this for their kids (with Christmas itself not being quite as ginormous as it is in the States).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
