My Lucky Day

I had a very lucky day on December 16, 2008. Do you want to know why? Because I was the winning bidder on the Advent Calendar that my class made. We made the calendar by putting reindeer, Santa Claus, and snowmen finger prints on the calendar. My snowman finger and thumb prints are on the back of the Advent Calendar. My snowman is on the back in the middle because my teacher put it there because I have a very big thumb.

There are 25 doors on the front and there is a bell on the 25th door. That door has a bell on it because it is Christmas Day. There are scratch off lottery tickets behind each door. Every day you open one door and scratch off the ticket. For instance on Christmas Day, I will take out the last ticket and scratch it off.

So far, I've won three free tickets and one dollar. I still have four more doors to go. Next year, I hope my parents will put candy surprises in each door.

I had a very very lucky day that day and I was so so happy. I thought I wouldn't win it, but I did. In about 15 years, I will have kids and I will put candy in the Advent Calendar for them.

What a cool advent calendar! I never thought of putting lottery tickets inside one. I hope you get to enjoy it for years to come!

Little Brother,
One of the best memories I have of Christmas as a kid was going to my friend's house and checking out her family's advent calendar - it was the coolest. I spent my whole life wanting one - maybe I'll get lucky and get one next year! Congratulations on winning - I heard your Mom paid top dollar - she's a good mom!
