I am a huge fan of Christmas! The decorations, the Elf On The Shelf, the tree, the decorations & I love having an Advent Calendar!! As a 30 something year old I probably shouldn’t get half as excited as I do opening a door everyday and getting a little treat, but I cannot help it! I have always been the same. Times have moved on from when I was a kid when it was basically a choice of did you want a Dairy Milk one or a Mars one! These days there are calendars that give a little gift everyday building up to a bigger gift at the end! Here is a selection of great Advent Calendar Ideas for all the Family!

![[AD - PRESS TRIP] We went back to where it all started today. Mike and I met at the Potters Arms in Harlow on Christmas Eve in 2008. We always try to go back on Christmas Eve for a drink, but this year we celebrated early. Cookhouse & Pub invited us to go and celebrate our anniversary early with them and they spoilt us rotten with a 3 course dinner & lots of gifts; they gave us heart shaped balloons, roses & Mike got a bottle of prosecco too.
The Potters Arms has changed over the years (though I'm sure if the building could talk it would say the same about us 🤣). It has been renovated and has a new menu which is really varied and delicious 😋. I am dairy and egg free and they had lots of choices for me - I had leek and potato soup to start, gammon, pineapple, chips and peas for main and vegan apple pie and custard for pudding 🥧. Mike had Prawn Cocktail to start, Steak, chips, peas, mushroom & grilled tomato for main and after eight Sundae for pudding 🍦. Lily had some bread and butter to start, hot dog, chips and beans for main and chocolate brownie and ice cream for pudding 🍫. The food was amazing, the restaurant has been renovated and the staff were really friendly. I can see us going back a lot...especially in the summer as its just down the road from Mike's outdoor bowls club! 🌞 @cookhouseandpub #cookhouseandpub #pottersarms #harlow #whatsonmyplate](https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_200,h_200/https://www.happymummy.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
