Good Day Benevolent and Humble People,
 
Day 6, oh yeahhhhhhhhh. I am getting super excited for Christmas, it is just around the corner, okay, maybe not. Nineteen days to be exact. Regardless, I feel the Santa and Elves, the chimney keeping the house warm, the gingerbread cookies, the eggnog, the reindeers, the ciders, the firewood, the fruitcake, the poinsettia, the presents, the ribbons, the sleigh bells, the tinsel, the traditions, and last but not least, the North Pole. Let’s also not forget getting together with family, which is always so wonderful however, please pass it up this year. I realize that Zoom or Skype is not sufficient, but it will have to do. Let’s stop the spread of this virus that has taken so many beautiful souls. Please consider a virtual Christmas. I promise you that it will be great, and hilarious, and innovative, and original, and outright fun. Thank you for being here.

Let the Race-To-Win Begin



NO WHEY FOODS ADVENT CALENDAR - Day 6
 
Day 6 of No Whey Food’s Advent Calendar is outright appalling, again! The stiff bite that almost broke my teeth, the stale taste of the chocolate, the colour of the bon bon that looks musty, to the cheap ingredients, it is all absolutely criminal. Need I say more!


Appearance of Box: Sugary
Fun and Appropriate Theme of Box: Comforting
Clearly Marked Numbers for Each Day: Yes
Is Advent Calendar Flimsy: Starting to be flimsy
Is the Advent Calendar Holding Up in its Form and Shape: Day 6 is starting to fall apart
Ease of Opening Each Daily Box: Quite Easy although the boxes are getting more difficult
Chocolate: 
            Exterior Appearance: Stuffy
            Smooth: Yes, but there is an old appearance to the bon bon
            Textured: No
            Salty: No
            Overly Sweetened: Yes, diabetic sweetener 
            Grainy: Yes
            Different: Yes, and refined over and over again
            Stale: Out-of-date
            Boring: Downright
Would I repurchase: No, I would Not
 
The shocker  continues

WINDEL ADVENT CALENDAR “Your World of Sweet Gifts”- Day 6
 
The Windel Advent Calendar is appalling, upsetting, ghastly in taste. Windel should just quit making Advent Calendars. This is perhaps not your calling; find another “hobby” that you might be more successful in. There is plenty to choose from. As for today’s chocolate, rubbish, nauseating, revolting. I cannot say even one positive thing about Windel’s Advent Calendar besides the exterior of the box. So sad!

            Textured: No
            Salty: No
            Overly Sweetened: Yesssssssssss
            Grainy: Yesssssssss
            Different: Oh yes, in a muggy way
            Stale: Tastes Stale, and more stale, okay, did I mention stale
            Boring: Stale, again, stale again
Would I repurchase: No, I would Not

LAURA SECORD ADENT CALENDAR – Day 6
 
Day 6 of the Laura Secord Advent Calendar tastes like food that has sat out in the sun for too long, smelly armpits, muckiness, ohhh, and I almost forgot, stinky cheese. Okay, okay, perhaps not literally but you get the point. It is bad, really bad! Please save your money; do not  consume these grainy, overly sweetened, shoddier concoction, fusty chocolates. You are missing nothing.

NESTLE NORTH POLE ADVENT CALENDAR – Day 6
 
Oh boy, Nestle, is really just commercializing their regular chocolates such as Aero, KitKat, and Smarties with this Advent Calendar. What a disappointment. I call this “cutting corners” and trying to profit at the same time. I recommend to people that if you are really in the mood for any of these Nestle products, just purchase a full-size of each one and move on to a different Advent Calendar. Try the Lindt or Ferrero Rocher Advent Calendars. They are harder to be disappointed by.

anks for sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience of mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to

    My name is Soriah and I am an enormous lover of fine chocolates. I enjoy strolling through charming towns and by chance, finding a little, delightful chocolate gem hidden in the corner, offering bon bons that are ready to be just devoured. 

    TO MY CHOCOLATE CUTIES OUT THERE, PLEASE NOTE - I do not discriminate between $$$$$. No, seriously, expensive or budget-friendly, all that really matters to me is whether my taste buds are doing a little hola dance, or sitting in the corner, tearing up. Oh, I almost forgot, quality ingredients in the chocolate is a huge added bonus. That is another great importance that reflects my final rating.
