Christmas Advent Calendar

So at Sunday dinner Melanie was talking about how she found the avon advent (is it an advent calendar if it doesn't have candy in it?) calendar on Ebay that their family had growing up and she bought one, and I decided that I wanted one too. My family had the same calendar to count down until Christmas and Steve had it too so I thought it would be especially cool to have one since we both had it growing up. So I went on to ebay, found the calendar and then did the make an offer option to buy my very own. It ended up being 22.80 with shipping and handling, I think I probably could have gotten it for 20.80 but oh well. I paid less than the guy was asking, and less than their starting auction bid if I was to buy it from the store that way. It should come in a couple of days!! I am super excited to have a family tradition for our little family that we both grew up with, and think it was totally worth the money I spent on it! If you are interested in buying one I got it from the seller twiceirish511 or search for "Vintage Avon Christmas Countdown Calendar with Mouse"

Picture from http://www.crwflags.com/page0383.html who also sells the calendar, they say its $10 plus at least $7 for shipping, and their slightly confusing page made it look an additional $7.50 for paying with your credit card... not sure though, so that could be a cheaper route to go...
