In an time of creeping secularisation, we mustn't forget the traditions of yesteryear. For example, I am shocked that Marks & Spencers no longer call these "Christmas Whips". Who can forget in the 1970s our parents hiding Christmas Whips all round the garden on the Second Sunday in Advent and then we had to go and hunt for them in the snow?

Advent Calendar 2024

24th December 2024

Made it! Hope you enjoyed all of our pictures, stories and videos this year. There's lots we didn't manage to fit in, like (Dave Walker  https://cartoonchurch.com/ ) (V&A Christmas Tree by Anna Lomax https://www.vam.ac.uk/event/wkwjeoDARmw/christmas-tree-installation-2024 ) What if Bach wrote Last Christmas? If you are on the socials over the next few days, check out the hashtags #DuvetKnowItsChristmas #XmasWithTheInlaws #AdamsCooking on Twitter and Bluesky. And we'll see you again next year. Lots of love!
