When I worked for Disney I was responsible for making the store's annual advent calendar :-5

I used to use photos off the staff members inside some of the doors and the person that was on the rota to open ther calendar that day had to report to the person in the photo - then they would get a gift/chocolate/day off etc.

Sometimes you just got a cracker or a little chocolate but they used to love the fact that every year I would make the advent calendar to suit the latest Disney movie on release. I used to have to start making it early November as the whole thing was hand painted and took me ages to do!

As much as I am a Bah Humbug person I actually miss doing the advent calendar! And it has been 10 years now since the last one! lol :o


Wow, I like that idea alot! I wonder if I could make one up of my students, and they would have to go to that person for a goody............................:)

In 1984, after all the receipts were added up, the cost of “The Twelve Days of Christmas would have set you back $12,623– the goods alone accounting for 62 percent of your total bill.

Today, the numbers tell a different story. The total cost has climbed to $17,297, a 1.6 percent annualized increase over 20 years, but services now account for 74 percent of the index, indicating a steady rise in the cost of skilled labor while the price of two turtle doves and three French hens may be a little easier on your wallet.

(1999; LA Times)

Every year around Halloween, Linda Sartor began to decorate. By December, her West Hills home was transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with a trio of grinning wire snowmen on her lawn, an intricate porcelain Christmas village lining the shelves of her family room and three or four artificial trees in various rooms.

This year, as an added flourish, she dressed the seven trees outside in hundreds of feet of colorful lights.

But two weeks after Christmas, authorities said, her holiday spirit cost her her life. An electrical short from a string of Christmas lights on an indoor tree set the house afire early Friday, killing the 50-year-old woman.

As friends, neighbors and relatives picked through the rubble, they recalled a warm and caring woman who took special delight in filling her home with holiday knickknacks of every variety.

This year, neighbors said, Sartor had gone to added decorative extremes in arranging the lights around her home. Rather than the usual two or three, she draped all seven trees in her yard with lights, causing what neighbors believe was a tremendous strain on her electrical wiring system.

Firefighters used the tragedy to warn others to put away their Christmas trappings. "Christmas is over now," said Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Steve Ruda. "We're encouraging everybody to take their trees out of their homes, unplug their Christmas lights. Put them away for the season."

Firefighters arrived around 4 a.m., after being alerted by a security firm that a smoke alarm had gone off. They controlled the blaze in 20 minutes, but it was too late for Sartor, a single woman who lived alone. Firefighters found her body not far from the tree in the family room believed to have started the blaze. "There was really not much the firefighters could do," Ruda said.

There was a lady in my church who ticked alot of parents off a few years back. She told the kids in her sunday school class that Santa was really Satan and bad things would happen to them if they believed in him. :rolleyes:

but then again I always thought this lady was a few slices short of a loaf of bread. :rolleyes:
