Is there a shortage of calendars this year?? Do the kids of today not have advent calendars??

Every year I have to have a Barbie one and Tom gets a Chelsea one and I can't find any in the shops this year :?

Asda and Tesco have loads.

Got ours already :oops:

Tom said he couldn't see them in Tesco and we don't have many Asdas down here, was there definitely a Barbie one?? I can't have Christmas without my advent calendar :oops: :lol:
 
VERY angry over advent calendars this year actually myself, was going to post a topic about them too :evil: :evil: :evil:

Was in Tesco last night and noticed that they are now all called COUNTDOWN CALENDARS :roll: :evil: :? :roll:

WTF? Apparantly they're not allowed to be called advent calendars anymore as this is related to the nativity/relgion and could upset/offend any non christian/immigrant types :roll: :evil: :roll:

Sorry but if you're going to be offended by our culture then then go and live somewhere else.

I want an ADVENT calendar not a poxy politically correct Countdown calendar :evil:

Not sure about Barbie ones but we got my Niece/Nephew Bratz and Scooby Doo. Personally I only like Branded ones like Cadbury/Mars etc coz the choc in the other ones are kack :roll:
 
I've already complained to the manager of the store (well the guy who was in charge at 23@15 last night) and am gonna write to my MP asking for an explanation.

I would like a Countdown Advent Calender featuring (now sadly deceased TV legend Richard Whitely) though.

I consider myself reprimanded for laughing at the loss of our "culture".....

(but can i just thank you for putting the words "young" and "puppygirl" into your reply - that's just made my puppyday!!!!)
 
Geez... is it THAT important what they call them?

I haven't had an advent calendar since Catholic elementary school, which I left after 1st grade.
 
I just heard on the radio that the Christmas lights in Lambeth have been re-named "Winter lights" incase they offend anyone from different religions:

The local Muslim leader actually called up the radio stations and said how ridiculous it was! He said Muslims have no problem with the being called Christmas lights whatsoever :roll: 8O

Politically Correctness gone mad! :x
