1) Calendars with 24 days of treats may very well go on sale after December 1st; a couple have already been discounted.
2) Some calendars are 12-day types, so it's not too late for anyone who needs to start on the first day calendar-wise.
3) Only you can decide whether starting a calendar "late" is a bad thing, right?
