Curious as to what others do once they’ve opened their advent calendar for the day, take the door off, leave it open, close it, or something else entirely?
Personally, I’ve always removed them, along with the foil inside the door, looks neater and it’s easier to find subsequent days. Others don’t seem to agree with me on this one though, so I’ll be interested to see what you fine folk think.

Doors on! Always!
This has become even more important this year though as husband has a Where’s Wally calendar where you have to find the character from the inside of each flap before you’re allowed to eat the chocolate. What if the character is on the front of some other flap, and you removed it? No chocolate for you! 😱
I had one of those a few years back. On one day, the thing I was looking for was on the exact same door.
Doors on and reclosed! Then you get the fun every day of finding the number for the door, without it getting progressively easier
I’m watching a daily series with two YouTubers opening four different advent calendars. One of them is the official Only Fools & Horses calendar and it’s horrendous.
When it’s finished, it’s supposed to represent a Christmas scene in the Nag’s Head. The problem is, and here comes the point, the flaps are the presents (sometimes)! For example, today’s flap was Denzil sitting on a stool.
I think even the most die hard fan would be angry.
Sounds like a truly thrilling watch!
(I can’t judge, I watch YouTubers open calendars with craft supplies inside)
They’ve made it into a competition. The winner is the one with the best daily gifts.
This year it’s Barbie Vs Military Men (a cheap calender of generic 3⅐ inch army men and accessories.)
The other set is Only Fools & Horses Vs Woozle Google (A German science show for children)
They’ve been doing it for several years. One year was the official Dr Who advent calendar Vs Star Trek. Considering these were deluxe expensive sets, some of the gifts were terrible.
How dare you “two YouTubers” unname then when one is Ashens, king of tat, lord of the brown sofa.
It’s on his second channel for those interested.
Hmm, at last, a real debate.
My preference is for leaving it open but not removing. This enables you to continue to enjoy the Christmas story as set out on the inside of the doors, and also not to lose the aesthetic that the calendar designers must spend so long working towards.
