It wasn't until Sarah's brother David got married that we realised you could get terrifyingly specific Christmas cards. We started to receive (and send) "Happy Christmas to my sister and brother-in-law" type cards, then when our nephew was born they got even more specific!

So here's a card from Card Factory, which takes personalisation a few parsecs into the future! To a brilliant brother and "Your Wife" or husband or non-gender specific partner, or partner-to-be ... and I'm sure additional ones inside for pet, inanimate totem or DVD collection.

Advent Calendar 2024

1st December 2024

Happy Advent! It's not often the 1st December is also the 1st Sunday in Advent, so we get to open our advent calendar AND light the first candle on the Advent Ring. Alt-text for the young people: a picture of an old-looking man (who frighteningly is only 31) about to set fire to a complicated construction of flammable tinsel and coat hangers. Welcome to year X of our Advent Calendar (it's probably 22 or so) and as usual we will be sharing the best of Christmas preparations and traditions as they come to us. Place your bets now on how long it will be until Adam is more than 24 hours late posting on the blog. Since we have a Blue Peter picture today, here in detail (from the "Blue Peter Make Cook And Look Book" 1978) is how to make your own Advent Ring, and for the girls, some Tinsel Birds.
