my friend was out carol singing yesterday in senior citizen homes !!!! i said isn`t it a bit early
i love this reverse advent calender idea though
December has arrived and in homes across the country, cardboard doors will be opened in the traditional countdown to Christmas.
But just as some look to luxury, others are choosing to reverse things this advent - with a calendar which gives back.
The idea is simple; instead of opening the door to a chocolate or picture, you do the giving.
People put aside a donation each day of advent, so they have a collection of goods ready to drop off in time for Christmas.
Many choose to dedicate their calendar to food bank charities, like One Can Trust in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
The charity said it had been overwhelmed with offers following the success of last year, when more than 200 calendars were donated.
"Individuals, companies, other charities, scouting and guiding groups, even people who live along the same street, are coming together to collect for us,"

ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
