An actual mushroom or a picture of a mushroom? If it was an actual mushroom then that's the weirdest calender I've ever heard of.

If it was just a picture of a mushroom - that's what you get for buying the Super Mario Bros Advent Calender. Yoshi tomorrow!

Ah there you have it then. Does it not say in the bible "And low Jesus came down from the mountain with 2 carved tablets, a phad thai chicken, a portion of special fried rice and some breaded mushrooms for Edgar who only wanted something light"

You obviously have the chocolate representation of Edgars mushrooms which symbolise not wanting to eat too much cos you had too much beer.

Deeply symbolic is that.

A well Jesus was a Jew and jewish people have those scarf thingy's with a certain number of tassels on them so that symbolises Jesus's heriatage and the penguin is....um....umm......ah yes a penguin is like a really small nun so it's obviously making reference to how even the most devout of Jesus's followers have to pay homage to his own background.

Ah yes the scarf clad pengun of Xmas, you don't see to many of them about these days.

Yeah but by the time I've found one suitable and wrapped it and written the address and got the correct postage and paid for it and posted it it'll be nearly xmas anyway so there's no point now. I'll send you a facebook advent calendar if you like?

Kendra, that is just out of order! Who do we write to so we can complain? George Bush?

Yeah, write to George Bush:

"Dear Dubya

I know you have a lot of things on your mind at the moment, what with Iraq and all, but I have an altogether more pressing issue. Why are there no vegan advent calendars?

Yours

Outraged of Peterborough (that's in Engerland)"

Everyone seems to have chocolate calendars these days, I never had chocolate calendars when I was a kid, I just had one with pictures.

Well I think it'd give him something to think about that his brain could probably handle!

I only had them with pictures too Topher, I'm not actually that fond of sweet stuff but I'm enjoying my daily chocolates now purely because I never had one when I was a kid I think.
