1st December 2019

Welcome back to our annual Advent Calendar. We hope you enjoy the pictures, words, and videos each day. We would also love you to send us ideas and contribtions, anything that makes you feel seasonal, or Christmas decorations that you really love.

Today is Sunday 1st December, so it is Advent Sunday. We light our first candle on the Advent Crown.


Sarah is delighted with her Advent Calendar, the way that the Lindt Teddy is peeking through the door, just waiting to be eaten on 24th!


Adam is also delighted, but mainly because he gets chocolate everyday!

I have got 2 Advent calendars; chocolate in one and teas in the other (I put the teabags in the little chubby holes myself last week. Then I have 24 knitted Christmas trees, or I will have, to add to my Christmas garland AND twenty-four decorated tea lights AND possibly an Advent candle...we haven't hung the Advent calendar Christmas Tree yet... you can Never have too many Advent calendars.

My Lindt Advent calendar seems to be missing 5 of its chocolates - looks they dropped out the bottom of the box during transport...

Very lovely. By contrast we (youth and leaders) ate the contents of a whole Advent calendar in 10 minutes at church last weekend as we shared what was special to us about Christmas.

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.
