2nd December 2020

We hope you've opened the first window on your own Advent Calendar, and maybe even the second! This year Sarah has a Thorntons calendar, and Adam has a Reese's Peanut Butter Pieces one, which of course is healthy and provides one of his 5-a-day.

Every year we look out for the Lego and Playmobil calendars, as they are always a fun way to build up a scene (not always festive). But on the playmobil.co.uk website, Adam got a bit distracted by some of the other toys on offer.

The amazing "Teenie mit Longboard"

The confusing "Tramp and Prussian Soldier"

The classic fairytale of the Goose Maiden

And a contentious culture wars version of a "Traditional Family"


But of course, best of all, is the Nativity. Happy Wednesday!

I have a Reeses peanut butter cup advent calendar (along with a Toblerone one and a “real advent calendar”). I’m struggling to find Reeses Pieces in the UK - normally I stock up whenever I’m in the US but it seems like it may be a while before I’m there again... Heather

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.
