It must be nearly 20 years since I made this …
and every year it comes out and the pockets get filled with lollies (sweets/candy) - one for each day of December. I’ve begged offered over the years for them to let me make a new one, a prettier fancier one … but no, this is what my “kids” want. Hmmmmm ….. My “kids” are almost 28, 25 and almost 18!!!!! LOL
Don’t forget to enter my giveaway – you could win BOTH of my new patterns - “Teatime Tabletopper” 
Oh and before I go, if you haven't seen it yet, Jenny of Elefantz has a little Christmas gift for you all!!!
You can find the pattern here on Jen's Blog - isn't she a sweety :o)!!!! Thanks Jen!!!

Thanks for this lovely giveaway. I have been a follower of your blog for a long time because I love your patterns!
I hope, one of them goes to Denmark!
they love the old one that has all the memories......that is why they don't want a new one.......a treasure.........
I love your website and patterns, your giveaways a lovely thank you
It's darling Joy, and I do understand them wanting that one - it's very comforting to have the same decorations and keep the same traditions.
Yes Jenny's design is gorgeous!!
Hello Joy,
Oh bless them, I think kids especially big kids really enjoy these parts of Christmas.
Happy days.

Family traditions are a super part of Christmas aren't they. It's nice when something with happy memories attached means more than a spangly new item.
Love to hear that it is not just my children that like the old and the traditions. Each year we put up an advent calendar that I made many, many years ago and like yours there is a lolly for each child. My children are 19,18,16 and 13, and a don't see it changing Karen
Thank you for the chance to win your lovely designs. What great Xmas cheer! I am with the kids onthe advent calandar thing.
My kids would be nodding their heads along with yours!! They really do love those old things that remind them of Christmases past and wonderful family traditions. :-)
What a blessed family you have, hon!
Hugs
Jen

My daugther is 36yrs old and I have only just weaned her off her christmas stocking full of goodies and a chocolate advent calendar.Moving 350 miles apart might have had a bearing on it though!!!
Don't fight it Joy. It is a lovely advent calendar.
