What's behind door number twenty? [Advent Calenders]

Advent calenders are a traditional countdown to the christmas season. With 24 doors and a hidden surprise behind each one they are great for children, but I for one love that sort of thing as an adult as well. What's behind your door? Is it chocolate or is it lego or beer or something else equally "grown up"
This year's calender is a fine offering from Lidl, as is the tradition
and behind door number one was an illegible chocolate reindeer that I ate before a photograph and these wise words of wisdom
What's in your calender SE++?

Back where I lived in Michigan there's a brewery that does an Advent Calendar of Beer filled with bottles of their rarities, odd-balls, and high-end brews.
It is the best advent calendar.

Depression and anxiety behind every one!

Day two brings the (imo) weeks early advice that it is time to decorate the Christmas tree.
Behind this door was an adorable gingerbread man
He did not survive...
If you buy two of them then you get two chocolates every day!!
What are you going to do at the end, smart guy? TWO Christmases?
Wait that actually sounds good
Can’t wait to open #2 later today! It’s been a Christmas tradition with my oldest son for a couple of years now, and my youngest is old enough to not eat the pieces so he can play too!
Bonus: someone got me the 2016 LSW calendar for Christmas last year, and opening it in January just didn’t work. So from ~10 Dec onwards, I’ll get two LEGO things every day!

They dropped the ball by only including one pistol, though.
Probably have another as part of a weapon stand later on, though.

"Time for some festive tunes" Finally one we can agree on, calender
Another moderately illegible chocolate, this one is a candy cane I think?
That's a scorpion. You're eating scorpion chocolate.
The answer is always a goat, or Monty Hall.
Both of those choices are pretty Fun, in different ways, I guess.
So this year I went to Lindt instead of Home Bargains
I don't have a calendar myself; I just make sure to eat something inadvisable every day
The Phantom!
Day 4 might be slightly delayed until tomorrow AM, since I might get home from work post-kiddie-bed-time, and I'd be justifiably pilloried if I opened the next one without my guys.
My two-year-old has decided that the funnest game ever is to pick up one of the pieces, and then run away with it, laughing hysterically. Daddy is less amused by this new game.

Probably for the best though, as I doubt I'd have the self control to not just open all the days at once.
and todays chocolate is a christmas pudding..I suppose. More of a christmas splat really.
I always like squinting at the terrible moulding jobs on these calenders, last year I had a "present" that looked like it had been sat out in the rain for a week and was all warped.
Last year, however, he did something rather ingenious. Each day, he left one piece of chocolate behind. That way on Christmas morning, he had 24 pieces of candy to eat along with his stocking fillers. I had to respect his ability to do that, I never would have been able to leave chocolate uneaten like that.
They seem like a neat idea though
Is it typically quality chocolate?
Generally though, if you know what a chocolate maker's stuff is like as a rule of thumb, their calender will be on par with that.
Okay! I'll grab some pics later today!
