I can't believe how unorganized I've been this year, especially on something so important....CHOCOLATE!
I woke up this morning and suddenly, it dawned on me, it's the 1st December and I don't have an advent calendar! What?!
So my big brother, who is here for the weekend, and I got ready and went to the supermarket, Mercadona, the most popular one and we thought "Oh Spanish people don't celebrate Christmas, there will be loads left" WRONG! there was nothing, just some fruit cake thing that you're supposed to eat on Christmas day, no chocolate in it whatsoever :(
NEXT, we tried Iceland, a typical English supermarket, of course they'll still have some? But on second thoughts, I live in a really English town, and these advent calendars would probably have been out for weeks, they'll be all gone. Yeah, this time i was right.
We then tried Aldi, German supermarket, they do nice chocolate but are they big on the whole Christmas thing? No, is the answer to that question. They're big on the whole fruitcake and marzipan but no advent calendars.
By then we were about to give up but decided we could just buy a box of chocolates and eat one every day until Christmas day!
Soon enough, we bought a bag of chocolate coins each, conveniently containing 24 coins (success!) and a chocolate Santa each (Just because, who doesn't like chocolate Santas?)

So at the end of the day, we didn't get the advent calendar we hoped for but we did get a lot more chocolate for two people for the price of one advent calendar! Happy days!
(I highly doubt this will be in one piece by the end of next week)
Thanks for reading!
