It's the first of December, and many will have woken up with glee to finally be able to open the first doors of their advent calendars.
For some, it's a tradition for their parents to buy them one every year – and all hell breaks loose when they forget to buy one (even for adults).
For others, their significant other may always get them one – or perhaps you have to rely on yourself to get the daily treat leading up to Christmas.
Either way, it's safe to say we can all agree that December has crept up on us this year – so you may be scrambling to grab one last minute.
You may have even already been to the supermarket – only to see the shelves are completely bare, with not even a Cadbury's Dairy Milk calendar to be seen.
