I do not give a flying fuck about xmas. My friend found this incredibly dodgy, unlicensed, Grinch advent calendar and gave it to me for a laugh. Today, I opened the first one.

There's a layer of plastic wrap inside the flap that needed to be sliced.

Day One is this laser cut piece of crap plastic with a sticker of the Grinch on one side πŸ˜€ Excellent. Low expectations met! Let's see what tomorrow brings...

Day two of Grinchmas is this very crappily printed sticker on some laser cut plastic. Yes, it is this blurry πŸ˜€ Sadly no sign of a piece of coal yet.

Hey, day four turns out to be this piece of crap! πŸ˜€

For Day Five sadly there's no coal. There is, however, this junk:

Day Six and I am very sad to announce that there's still no sign of any coal.

A bonus, I spy some gold thread under this one. Must be to string up all this junk!

Day Nine and I get the feeling the manufacturers were starting to run out of fucks to give.

Day Thirteen. I think it's meant to say Merry Christmas but as usual, terrible print.

By now I'd accept a heart two sizes too small but here we are. Day fifteen.

Day sixteen and the mounting hole is so poorly done a thread would just fall out.

#GrinchmasAdventCalendar #craptastic #adventcalendar #adventcalendar2024

Day Seventeen and they haven't bothered trying to put a hole in this so I guess you just thread through the gap?

#Grinchmas

Day Eighteen and my low expectations continue to be met. Still no sign of coal, sadly.

Day Nineteen and it feels like CBF is creeping in again

Day Twenty One and it took some effort to get this one out as it's so large. Still a piece of crap!

#Grinchmas

Day twenty three, one more to go. Still no sign of coal. Still a piece of crap.

#Grinchmas
#GrinchmasAdventCalendar #craptastic #adventcalendar #adventcalendar2024

Day twenty four and look at this crap! WHERE'S THE COAL!

@vwdasher Are you sure they sold you the right one???
@stufromoz my friend got this and gave it to me. I reckon she stole the coal.

@vwdasher Oi! What happened to days 22-25????

I bet you found some coal, and didn't want to tell anyone, you scumbag!!!!

@chewie ahahah Oh wow did I break that thread? I did post the other hideous shit that came in it. Try the hashtag, should still be around somewhere?
@vwdasher maybe! I did try searching, but I will try again πŸ˜€

@vwdasher yay! The story is complete! I hope you managed to have a cozy Christmas, even without any extra coal...
@vwdasher - my grown child is highly amused by how horrible these are
@NullNoMore as am I and my friend who bought it for me! These photos go quite a distance πŸ˜€
@vwdasher Have you set up a nice little display with all these little shitty bits? I reckon they'd look good hanging from a mini Xmas tree, you could fashion a piece of faux coal for the top. πŸ€”

@sister_ratched Right now they're all back in the original box under each flap.

Maybe they need a burnt stick.
