1st December 2010

It's hard to believe that the Creen Advent Calendar has been going since 2003! So now in its eighth year, here's our daily selection of the best seasonal photos, gifts, oddments and songs to brighten up your December, whether you plan to go to Midnight Mass or a Skeptics in the Pub shindig.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, especially if you're a fan of Starbucks Christmas drinks. We love their little tree ornaments as they remind us of having a grande hot chocolate with whipped cream.

Anyway, we're not here to advertise! But today is World Aids Day, and one of the organisations helping Aids sufferers is Product Red. If you buy a coffee at Starbucks today, they'll give 5p towards fighting Aids in Africa. But why not give more?

Thanks to http://www.flickr.com/photos/letsbook/ for the picture.

Advent Calendar 2025

1st December 2025

Hello! We've sort of lost count, but think the first Advent Calendar was back in 2003, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine says it looked like this: Of course all the links are dead, but the thing it has in common with this year's is that it is still coded in HTML, probably the last thing I will ever rely on coding for. Now it looks like this: Happy Advent! We have gone for the Bonne Maman JAM Calendar again this year, after leaving it too late last year and it selling out at both Fenwick and Selfridges! We get a fresh pot of jam every day to enjoy with our tartines and Ovomaltines. We also have the Domino's "Merry Crustmas" leaflet, and a MUJI calendar we'll show you later in the month. Do let us know what you are opening every day! You can leave a message below, or email us your ideas and suggestions for future days at robotmaths@outlook.com Have a great day!
