As some of you know, my mother is buying 24 smurfs all the year long to fill an advent calendar for me...Like in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
You can see my new smurfs in an online calendar:
You may guess which smurf I got today (it's the same mold as every year). It's one of the nicest fakes of this smurf (and quite difficult to get) and I am very happy to finally have him!
As the advent calendar 2006 was my first post here, it's my 5-years-anniversary on Blue Cavern!
There have been times when I have posted here more often and I am sorry for not posting that much anymore. I can't really say why, there are some smaller reasons I think. For example, I have less time because of my studies at university, the smurf movie has caused too many discussions about everything but not collecting (don't misunderstand that: it's great, but it's a bit of a smurfy overdose
) and many of the easier smurf collecting questions (not those like: Which marking variations where produced when..? 
) have all been answered. But I am absolutely sure, I'll never stop posting here and maybe even will post more again!!! 
Even if you don't have such a great advent calendar, I hope you will have a great December as well,
