JOE reader Andrea McConnon Donnelly has written to us to tell us about the ingenious present her daughter Ciara thought up for her dad - an Irish 'Beervent Calendar'.
Andrea writes: "Best Advent Calendar ever!!! My daughter Ciara asked me to take her to the beer shop yesterday so she could buy 25 beers to make her dad a Beervent Calender.
"She took ages handpicking 25 unique beers to carefully wrap and number as a surprise because he doesn't really like chocolate (though it would have been cheaper if he did).
"She hesitated at one point wondering if he'd like Tequila shots or Vodka instead - thankfully her piggy bank wouldn't stretch to that!
"She was so excited at the idea of giving it to him 'so he could have a wee drink every day and be happy cos it is Christmas after all'. Needless to say he was a very happy guy indeed."
All we want for Christmas... is this.
Thanks to Andrea McConnon Donnelly for sending this our way.
