Yes, you have to keep the cheese Advent Calendar in the fridge. I enjoyed it. Every day there was a little vacuum-packed cheese -- Applewood, Edam, Cheddar, Wensleydale with Cranberries, Red Leicester, and, just for today, Wensleydale with Gingerbread! Plus some amazingly corny cheese jokes.
And you!
(Yes, this is my second, which is a really weird feeling ;-)
My answer to question four would've been something smart about us Swedes celebrating on the 24th, so if I left something for Santa that evening he wouldn't get it... :P
Yeah! A lot of European countries celebrate on the 24th; ok, maybe "a lot" is pushing it, but it's not totally unheard of (Poland celebrate on the 24th apparently!). Which is why I have always been annoyed with US Christmas movies that show Santa delivering all the presents on the night between the 24th and the 25th, because the writers have obviously not done their homework!
I did, thank you. This year we started celebrating on the 23rd, as my mother was going away. So we celebrated on the 23rd with everyone at her place and then on the 24th at my sister's. Some years we celebrate on the 24th and 25th or just the 25th, depending on when my older sister has her children, as she co-parents and they alternate years. And if I visit my oldest sister close to Christmas, that's like another celebration too; if I visit closer to New Years (as I will this year) then we don't really count it as such, mostly because all the Christmas food is gone! :P

I love the idea of multiple Father Christmases, each with his own beat, like the postman.

It would make the task a lot easier!

Swedes celebrating on the 24th
How does that work? Does Santa come the night before?
Hope you had a good Christmas, whichever day!
