Our neighbours have started to put their Christmas lights on, but it's all a bit low-key at the minute. In Zurich, Switzerland, however there are no holds barred. The switching on of what they like to call “Lucy” heralds the start of the Advent season. People gather to see the 23,000 light crystals shine out for the first time, spread over a distance of 1km.

These lights on Lowenplatz are made from recycled bottles:

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!
