24 Reasons To Buy An Advent Calendar

They say society doesn’t want you to have an advent calendar. Society wants to put you in a box. But you want to take things out of a box. Every day in December, preferably.

We think it’s perfectly natural for a grown adult to have an advent calendar, but if you need more reassurance, here’s the first of 24 scientifically backed reasons to fulfil your door opening dreams:

Reason 1

Take pictures of the calendar and show them to people any time they show you pictures of their dog.

Reason 2

Get a marker out and draw your family tree on the box, to help explain how you’re all related over the holidays.

Reason 3

Make the world’s longest unboxing video by livestreaming all 24 days!

Reason 4

Keep it on the porch, so the beers stay chilled, and your neighbours get increasingly jealous.

Reason 5

Hide a monthly chore behind each door and invite your reluctant family/flatmates/visitors to play ‘Chore Roulette’.

Reason 6

Give your list of enemies a glow up by putting mug shots of those who have wronged you behind each door as a reminder to plot your revenge.

Reason 7

Use the beers as valuable commodities to trade for the prizes in your family’s advent calendars.

Reason 8

Store the calendar in the fridge until your Christmas eve party, then use it as a self-service drinks vending machine.

Reason 9

Give yourself one less decision to make in the morning and plan your month in socks (n.b you will have to go barefoot until the 1st)

Reason 10

After Christmas, use the box to store spices in order of spiciness

Reason 11

Up your Xmas game night by using the 24 cans as bowling pins (loser has to take out the rubbish)

Reason 12

Let the advent calendar be a daily reminder that the Xmas shopping is not yet done

Reason 13

Use it to countdown to your birthday and make sure no one forgets ever again.

Reason 14

Ask a family member to hide your keys behind one of the doors for a fresh take on that beloved morning game

Reason 15

Re-purpose as a planet friendly drinks cabinet and boost your green credentials

Reason 16

Counting down from 24 gives people the impression you have a lot of patience

Reason 17

Get your screen time down by discovering the date without checking your phone.

Reason 18

Keep the Christmas tree on its toes with another large ornament that gets attention

Reason 19

You can leap out of bed with enthusiasm every morning (please walk down the stairs though)

Reason 20

Delight the recycling bin collectors on Boxing Day

Reason 21

You can store up to 24 new hamsters* after Christmas (n.b. put 24 hamsters on Xmas list). * that’s a joke – please don’t store your hamsters in our advent calendar

Reason 22

A conversation piece for when guests come round (don’t worry – they will definitely ask why you have one)

Reason 23

You can (probably) win every argument with your partner from now on: “Remember when I had to buy myself that ridiculous awesome advent calendar?”

Reason 24

Discover brand new beers (that's an easy one)
