ADVENT CALENDAR

Once Wilson had arrived home with Byron, although it was already quite late, they retired to the Library together to have a catch-up.

Wilson then got out his Advent Calendar, and between them they opened the first door.

When I was a child, Advent Calendars didn't even have chocolate inside – just a picture of, say, a star, a shepherd or an angel etc, building up to a crescendo of excitement and anticipation on Xmas Eve when you'd open the final, double door, to reveal a picture of Baby Jesus in a manger!

They were simple days.

Wilson's Advent Calendar, however, has little bottles of Gin behind each door!

Really, whatever will they think of next?
