+Degai Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 This sounds like so much fun. I love Advent calendars and use them every Christmas. Although I didn't have time this year to participate in this mission, I certainly hope you (or someone else) will do this again next Christmas so I (and many others) will have the opportunity to take part in this. I will look forward to seeing the comments and pictures posted for this mission. Quote Link to comment
+millieballon Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Received my mission name. Will do some shopping this afternoon. In the Netherlands ii is a little bit early for xmas things becuase we first have Sinterklaas. But a chocolate Sinterklaas or a chocolate santa does not make much difference I hope.

+millieballon Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 25 presents wrapped. Should have used less paper because now the total weight is over 2 kilo. Will check the exact weight tomorrow in the post office and then decide what i've to skip. Maybe do not add 6 boxes with "hagelslag" Quote Link to comment

As this is about exchanging cultural and customs, then I think it is wonderful that you will share Sinterklass! Here the shops have Christmas decorations up - amazing how many decorate with evergreen and imitation snow in the height of summer here! Quote Link to comment

Ah, the suspense...... but all will be revealed. Quote Link to comment

+Toojin Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Okay, fun news and not so fun... ' Fun is that I really like the idea of exchanging packages and this afternoon I brought in a package from Pingos who I sent my advent mission to. Cool !! Not so fun.... the box is marked fragile and has been beat up by the post office. I don't really want to open in and be tempted by the presents inside but I worry about the condition. <image showing address removed upon request> Edited November 23, 2010 by Eartha Quote Link to comment

Oh, and lots and lots of stick on foamies, which I know my 3 year old grandson will want... Thanks CarinRcc - you made my day. Annoyed yesterday / today as someone didn't check their mirrors and backed right into the side of my wee red RX8 - so spent today working on insurance claims... Perfect day for a mission to arrive Quote Link to comment

I hear ya...our recipient has not posted that is was received (maybe they were away for the holiday??) and we have not yet received anything (today's mail just arrived and no package). I hope it arrives soon...otherwise it kind-of defeats the purpose of the advent theme Quote Link to comment
