Eternal advent

I went to Germany to a Christmas market last December and bought Mom a chocolate advent calendar. You open a little window each day, and there's a piece of delicious German chocolate to enjoy. I liked this traditional looking one so much that I bought one for myself so I'd know that I had the same calendar and chocolate each day in England as Mom had in Tennessee.

She loved it so much that she made her nurse put it up on the wall, and when Christmas was over, she didn't want them to take it down. I loved the advent calendar too because I knew Mom was enjoying it so much, so I didn't take mine down either, and now I can't take it down because Mom is gone.

What are people going to think when it's August, and I still have an advent calendar up in my kitchen?
