15th December 2015

With only 10 ~~eating~~ shopping days until Christmas, it's time for a roundup of Christmas food news.

Top tip for the festive season is Zum Fest, a continental selection of biscuits, lebkuchen and chocolates:

Sarah got one of the best Secret Santas ever, not only some Percy Pig sweets, but also some socks!

You may be sick of my complaints about Maltesers, and how their advent calendar doesn't contain ANY, not even on the 24th!

Teaser indeed! Well, the controversy from the States is that the Reece's Peanut Butter Christmas Tree ... doesn't look like a tree! What do you think?

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!
