Transcript:
Phoebe: And it's... a candle. Marigold: What's it for? Phoebe: It's my advent calender. Every day until Christmas, there's a' new picture. Marigold: How many unicorns? Phoebe: None so far. I thought this was one, but it's a donkey wearing a Santa hat. Marigold: Because you are my friend, I shall pretend I did not hear that.

It’s not as if she’s comparing you to a donkey, Marigold…
scyphi26 over 10 years ago
Yes, because what unicorn would want to be compared to a donkey?

Nah. A unicorn advent calendar would have little mirrors behind all the doors. 25 days full of a unicorn’s own reflection.

While you don’t mistake a hose with a dragon, we’ll have no problems

Well it is kind of like saying, “I thought I saw you the other day but it turns out it was only a fat lady in a hat.” Sheesh!

In my experience, most advent calendars stop at Christmas Eve.

Shouldn’t there be chocolate behind each door?

Gee now I want to see Marigold’s advent calender.
kaykeyser over 10 years ago
well other unicorns she met so far didn’t effect her.

LSH would be some random low number not wanting to claim the high spot but to humble to claim the honer of being so humble that he would be the first image kids see when opening there doors.

Just don’t ever make that same mistake with the back cover of The Grateful Dead, Europe, ’72

Two things:
1 What is an Advent Calendar? I have never heard that term before. (Many thanks in advance!)
2 Phoebe will need to get Marigold a copy of Disney’s “Fantasia” for Christmas, as it features not only a few unicorns, but even a donkey unicorn (Jacchus, who was ridden by Bacchus, the god of wine and mirth). :-)

Omega Dragotroid and AppleRox2013, thank you for the explanation and illustration of the Advent Calendar!

A unicorn advent calendar would have an increasingly beautiful unicorn for each day, and Marigold for Christmas Eve.

I am sure there are people here who need to be told first off what Advent is. It is the church season that starts four Sundays before Christmas day, and is between between 22 (if Xmas is a Monday) and 28 (if it’s a Sunday) days long. Just as Lent prepares for Easter, Advent prepares for Christmas. Traditionally the First Sunday in Advent is the beginning of the Christian Year.
