Would your children still be interested in advent calendars if there wasnt a chocolate or a present when you open a door?

Yes but my child is small and doesn’t know chocolate ones exist

I think yes, probably, except that older DC knows about the chocolate ones from his friends so I think he'd be disappointed. I said to him the other day that when we were little we just had pictures and how I thought that was more magical and he said 'I think it is more magical to have chocolate.'

Yeah I think if the chocolate ones weren't a thing they probably would, but of course they've been used to the chocolate ones since they were tiny

Mine have an advent calendar with pictures to open in the morning and then pockets (with a chocolate coin) in the afternoon after school. They are 8 and 4 and genuinely excited to see the picture they get in the morning 🤣
