Specifically, I love the SAS Advent Calendar (Scandinavian Airlines). You know the one I’m talking about. I’ve been watching it for four years, now. $300+tax from Seattle to a surprise different city in europe every day from now until Christmas. Every morning I wake up, pad downstairs to the laptop, and click on the little number to find out where I might be able to go today. Is it Copenhagen? Is it Amsterdam?

I never got a chocolate advent calendar when I was a kid, but my friend’s kids all have one. Is this how they feel?

Today’s city is Stockholm, land of meatballs, the Nobel Prize, and the King (who apparently hangs out there a lot).
