Our Mom made 72 small gifts with a toffee, an eraser, a small chocolate bar and so on which she attached to the 3 advent calendars. On Christmas Eve there was always a treasure map for a big Christmas present, I still remember the year we each got a snow racer in that present. My younger sister had her first child at a young age which allowed Mom to pass the tradition onto the next generation.
Today, her youngest grandchild aka the world's most perfect teenager is the only one she makes an advent calendar for. This year, she has chosen to give him a stock every Advent Sunday instead of a piece of candy. I'm going to help her by making a chart for each stock like I did for the stocks Mom and Dad gave him for his birthday.
Junior's interest in stocks is growing as steadily as his portfolio. He is still unaware that his portfolio is on "anabolic steroids" due to the fact that we deposit the student grant we receive from Sweden's taxpayers every month into his account. Hopefully his stock saving will become a way of life before or if he discovers our strategy.
