Advent from Joe

Ah, the joys of Wal-mart.

Joe took a trip to Germany and stopped by the only Wal-Mart within a 5 hours radius of where we live. In addition to picking up some more Budvar, he also found this advent calendar - and picked one up for everyone. Basically you open a little cardboard window each day of December, and inside is a little surprise. In the true tradition of Germany, half the time you end up with a small bottle of alcohol.

Not sure what we're going to do with the small statues of Baby Jesus and Joseph, but the alcohol is going to be part of our 'Talking about work during vacation' penalty drink (more on that later).
