My boss surprised us Monday morning with a cool gift: a bright red Lindt advent calendar for each of us in the department.
It has little windows (or doors) that you open each day until the end of Advent. Inside is a quote (in German) and a chocolatey treat.
I began opening some windows and limited myself to three today (even if I could open 7 - being the 7th day of December) but 7 chocolates would be too much for my waistline.
I looked up the quote by Giacomo Casanova. It translates, "Love is three-quarters curiosity".

Happy to know that I'll be getting more of these tomorrow!
