Four advent calendars. One hyped-up kid. Endless Christmas joy. Bob Addison returns with tales from Surrey, where his family’s holiday traditions have snowballed into something magical.

From early decorating for a "favorite things" party to handmade advent boxes packed with daily surprises, Bob shows how intentional holiday rituals can create lasting impact. But the twist comes when Shane suggests turning it all on its head — what if every item was meant to be gifted to someone else?

This isn’t just a feel-good episode — it’s the origin story of a new kind of advent calendar that mixes generosity, fun, and a little mischief.
