Advent Calendar 2017 – Christmas Treats

courtesy of greenowlcrafts.com

We live in a fast, modern and immediate world which is totally removed from the years of my childhood. What was a treat back then is very much a potentially common occurrence now which rather defeats the object to being a treat!

As I might have mentioned earlier in the advent calendar when I was a child Mum used to buy chocolate tree ornaments which I wasn’t allowed to consume until Christmas Eve and even then, just one or perhaps two. Now with my own home I could have a tree littered with Christmas chocolate ornaments but don’t. I no longer find that a treat.

Overtime, our treats change, defined by us and our families. How have your treats changed over the years?
