Evening Twters!

For years, decades even, I haven't really done advent much, having found it hard to get into the spirit of it.

Today I break with tradition, as I got myself an advent calendar for the first time since I was a child, and ye gods am I excited for December now!

#Advent #Tea #TeaToots
A red and green background on which stands a big red box, open, with 24 smaller numbered red boxes inside. Inside each of these boxes is a green tin of loose leaf tea, various flavours. The image shows a couple of these tins to the right of the red box, and a cup of tea with a strainer inside to the left. It's titled '24 Teas of Christmas'.

The kiddo used my #AdventCalendar animal cards in a single elimination game to determine her favorite. Apparently, it's the pistol shrimp. The potoo was a close second. Now to see if a challenger emerges from the next pockets.

(Also I'm pretty sure she chose shrimp because her dad is Cajun and she sees it as yummy. 😅 )

I missed a few days, but here are my recent favorite #AdventCalendar finds! Mantis shrimp, honeybadger, aye-aye!

So here is me nerding out about my #AdventCalendar day 1:

I have a deck of weird animal cards in my calendar! 🥰🥰
Today's pocket had a rosy maple moth and a tardigrade!

Colorful drawing of a fluffy pink and yellow rosy maple moth sitting on a leaf. The writing on the card says "rosy maple moth: you are capable of great change"
Colorful drawing of a tardigrade. Writing on the card says "tardigrade: embrace uncertainties and let life surprise you"

I don't know who needs to hear this but it is completely OK for you as an adult to buy yourself an advent calendar.

Any kind. Not just makeup or whiskey. You can buy a calendar with Spiderman toys if that's what you want. It's kind of the entire point of being an adult.

(Also, if you did buy a fun calendar, and you want to nerd out about it, please share :) )

It's almost time to begin my yearly quest for a neat advent calendar (because in our house the adults get their own too). Last year, a friend made me one with hand-selected minerals, which was very cool. This year, I'd like something with animals, but I'm open to suggestions 😄 Bonus if I can support an artist with it.
