What are your best Christmas traditions?

As regular readers will know, one of ours is the Christmas Radio Times:

  • check you have the right ITV region
  • remove the Radio Times Holidays section from the middle
  • set to with the marker pens
  • highlight stuff in the radio section that you will NEVER listen to

Another is making sure the following films are on TV over Christmas

  • Die Hard (of course)
  • A Muppet Christmas Carol
  • Scrooged
  • Clueless (not seasonal but then again it's always sunny in California)
  • any Hallmark Christmas movie about snowglobes or a character called Holly

And of course, getting up the most garish decorations in the street.

This year we have an eye-piercing blue neon wreath and window lights. But even that doesn't compare with the Loop Road extravaganza. Only snapped last night, here it is!

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!
