God Bless

God bless the person who decided to put chocolate in advent calendars.

According to Wikipedia, this was the clever invention of 1950's chocolate manufacturers, who managed to successfully cash in on Christmas and boost their sales immeasurably. But I can't help but think that, while gross profit may have been the original function of sugar-filled calendars, surely their primary purpose today is to give everyone an excuse to eat chocolate before 7am?

Not that I've ever needed one.
