I’m sad this is the last year they’re doing this. It’s such a unique advent calendar, I don’t think there is anything else like it. I got one back in 2016 and really enjoyed it. The only downside is shipping to the US. I think it’s $15 for one calendar.

I actually think that’s reasonable. I’m over here a little miffed that finally I’m buying from a CDN company and for once I think I will get the better end of the deal when it comes to shipping, and they are charging us Canadians the exact same amount that it would cost to ship to the states.

They also have a Scary Story box for Halloween. It looks pretty fun also!

I haven’t purchased one before but I found this in the FAQs:

Are the stories religious?

Nope.

Are they Christmas-y?

Not as a rule, no. But you never know what snuck in the back.

Are they appropriate for children?

Also no. There is definitely some adult content in here. Your adventurous teen could probably handle it, but we wouldn’t recommend handing it to anyone younger than that.
