Advent calendar dilemma!

[BloodyCats]

Ok this is very, very first world problemy but I would appreciate some help in deciding.

Dh bought me a very fancy advent calendar for my birthday which falls in the middle of December, he would like me to wait till my birthday to open it all. I have used all my willpower not ripping through it already and would like to start with the first door tomorrow.

Who will win the fight?
Yabu = save it for your birthday you greedy mare
Yanbu = start tomorrow, open it all tomorrow!

Erm no, it's an advent calendar, you start it on the 1st December. Tell him not to be so tight and get you a birthday present as well!

What fuckinG madness!

Open a door a day like the advent law demands!!

Advent calendars are for opening a day at time in December. Waiting to halfway through the month is odd

Tell him to get you a birthday present.

This is an advent calendar, so you open door 1 tomorrow

End of ! 😀

He bought you an advent calendar. What's the bloody point if you can't open one a day? It's still a birthday present.

That is a very odd birthday present! If he wanted you to open it all at once, he shouldn't have told you what it was and should have just wrapped it up to give you on your birthday. But you can't sit and look at an unstarted advent calendar for another two weeks!

Where has my vote gone?!

He wants me to wait as it’s a birthday gift and I won’t have much else to open on my birthday otherwise. I think this could easily be solved by buying me more gifts

It's an advent calendar, not a birthday present! Don't care how fancy it is.

What a tight arse. Would he buy you an easter egg for your birthday if it fell in lent?

Advent calendar. Tell him the clue is in the name. He’s being tight.

Start opening it tomorrow. Was he thinking you’d open all the doors on your birthday?

Some advent calendars cost £100s! Of course they’re fine to give as a gift, not tight at all.

OP you should open it day at a time from tomorrow, not open all at once

Nope you should definitely start opening tomorrow! I’ve dropped my mums Christmas present (Clinique one) off this morning so she has it for morning. You will have a present and enjoyment everyday this way rather than loads at once! Which one is it?

What? Well what does he want you to do? Open 15 at once??? What is he thinking???!!!!

It's an advent calendar - whole point is opening it each day . He should have brought you a set of something instead if he wanted u to wait

Of course they’re fine to give as a gift, not tight at all.

I'm not saying it's tight! Or that they shouldn't be a gift.

I am saying it's a weird thing to give as a birthday gift.

Is it the Nespresso one? So excited to start that one, wouldn’t be waiting until birthday

An advent calendar is an advent calendar and should be treated as so ! He needs to buy another gift !!!!

Does he know what an advent calendar is? And how it works?

Im not voting because both your options are wrong. Just open one a day in December.

What's the advent calendar?

It’s a liberty one so definitely not tight. We have a lot of birthdays to buy for in December and I’ve wanted it for ages but can’t justify it as a stand alone present to myself.

Right, I win. I’m starting tomorrow. Thanks MN

I was coming to say start tomorrow too :) Glad you've decided to, enjoy its contents.

Could you use the argument that the surprise might be spoiled by finding out what is in it if you don’t ‘keep up’.

It's a great gift if you start opening it tomorrow. Otherwise it's a shite gift.

It's an advent calendar, start opening the doors on the 1st of December. If you have to wait until mid-december it's no longer an advent calendar!
