When I was a child, opening a door on an advent calendar didn't get you any loot. It just revealed a seasonal picture: some holly, perhaps, or an angel. By the time I was an adult, chocolate was expected. When I had children, we got them one with Lego. More recently I was given one with whisky miniatures (and so drank far more whiskey in a month than I ordinarily would do in a year).
Now my children are old enough to give me stuff, and my eldest has sent me a jam-filled advent calendar. So today I opened a tiny jar of strawberry jam with star anise. It came with a tiny jam spoon.
I'm not religious, so advent is very similar to "December". But nevertheless, season's greetings, everyone.
