        BTW the title means "1001 Christmas eves" which is a popular teutonic east-west meme like Arabic Widow Twankey in British Xmas pantos

        Anyway, it was a vast amount of really good Swiss chocolate for only €17.50 with bonus of paying homage to both Jesus-celebrating faiths

        The Kaufhof department store had 200 advent calendars. That was the biggest that'd fit in my luggage but there were bigger

        They were practical. I think this must be the place where they got the myrrh etc because it sure ain't a manger
