Every store has a mountain of them, and I'm not just talking about Supermarkets. Hardware stores, even the Jewelry store (which pisses me off because it really should be closed right now) has advent calenders for sale.

They outnumber the population.



who is like "Yes I'd take that white gold diamond 4,300 Braclet and the Haribo Advent Calendar please."?

The Christmas cracker thing astounds me too. I can't believe telling a bad joke and wearing a paper crown is a part of their Christmas tradition.

There's actually researh behind that.

Psychologically people are happier and feel more intelligent when reading out a bad joke that makes everyone groan than trying to tell funny jokes/stories themselves.

That's why the cracker jokes are so intentionally awful

A genocidal storm trooper in an elf cap? Very pleasant for kids, yes.
Seriously though, that is an amusing image.

Is it normal for jewelry stores to sell other seasonal items, or it just a testament to the popularity of Advent Calendars.

There's a calendar for the MLP movie, which is from... 2017? Anyhow, that means the calendars have a ridiculous shelf-life, or the image is dated by a few years.

We buy boxes of Christmas crackers. Decorated bits of cardboard with a BANG inside. You pull one with someone till it tears and goes bang. Whoever gets the biggest piece gets what's inside the cracker.

There is always a paper crown, a joke/trivia and a small toy/trinket.

We usually pull them right before everyone sits down to eat so we can take photos of us all at the table with our food and hats on.

OH those kinds of crackers. I'm a dumb American.

He's been claiming all year that he was in the UK for work when covid hit so he's been stuck there unable to leave the country to return to the US. It's been pointed out numerous times that this is factually false but he sticks to it.

What does he claim he's getting money from? Is his "work place" just continuously giving him money to sit and fart in a foreign country rather than spending much less money bringing him home?

Well I can tell you that one is open and it was selling them.
