1st December 2018

Welcome to one and all! We hope you are enjoying your weekend and maybe, just maybe, you are putting up your tree and decorations today.

As usual, we'd love to have your pictures, stories and jokes for the days ahead so do send them in.

Today's picture is from Hilary. We've already done way too much Christmas food shopping, now that the mince pies in the shops won't have gone off by the middle of December. But we haven't done any Christmas baking. Hilary says "Here’s a picture of some upside down gingerbread men!"

Update: Hilary is doing a new picture every day! So check her out on Twitter for loads of great Advent Calendar snaps: https://twitter.com/hilaryosborne

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.
