Our “good-bye” treat before the calendars doors stay closed for a few days: cheddar with port & milk chocolate hazelnut praline topped with caramelized almond (I initially typed ‘onion’ 
).

What? You’re not taking them with you?
The two advent calendars? Nah. We’ll be able to endulge in the missed days when we get back.

How did all those little jars come out? Yay, mey or nay for next year
For me personally, nay. Much of the jam tastes the same, and I make great jam myself so it’s kind of a bummer. I was hoping the unusual flavors would be fun, but it’s been a bit of a letdown.
I bought a second one I haven’t gifted and I think k it’s quite likely the recipient will enjoy it more than I did.

I haven’t had as many as you did (probably still have half of them), but what I’ve had so far didn’t wow me as I had hoped. Like you, I was expecting more. It’s nice to try, and I’ll enjoy the rest of them eventually, but it’s a one-and-done for me.

The two ‘12 Days’ ones I have left over will probably be divided up and put in a few Easter baskets with scones.

My feeling too based on the number of rejected jars that kept turning up on my local Buy Nothing group. One friend said she loved 3 of them, tolerated another 2, and gifted the rest

Orange-guava-lime.
Hated it, but in a strange twist, mom loved it.

I LIED TO MYSELF!!! I knew I had said I wasn’t going to buy this again, but I was in World Market today…and I caved. :::Sigh::: I think it was because they had some interesting flavor mixes, although I see several on the back of the box that are repeats from last year.
Next year. I will NOT get them next year!

Well, this is just for me, and they usually sell out, and I had forgotten I wasn’t going to buy it this year, and some of them ARE good, and I know they don’t carry them regularly, and I know it’s expensive, and I’m just a sucker for marketing ploys like this, and I should really know better. 
I’ll bring some in to work starting in December to work through them more quickly.

I bought two from them (Bonne Maman mailorder) earlier this year because I can’t trust wher I bought them last year to have them this year. Now I need to remember to hand the calendars off at Thanksgiving to the kids. I ask for the empty jars back when they are done with them.

Going to World Market and buying a buncha stuff we don’t need is part of our annual holiday tradition. Bring it on!
