11th December 2024

Friends of the Advent Calendar will know that one of the highlights of visiting the Norwegian Christmas Fair (see 3rd December) is buying the traditional marzipan pig.

Strictly this is a German/Nordic tradition for New Year's Eve, but marzipan is for life, not just for new year! One of our highlights of our holidays this year was visiting Lübeck, the home of Niederegger brand marzipan, and a specialty of Northern Germany. As well as the shop, cafe, and museum, we also made it to the outlet store for marzipn bargains! In the museum there are lifesize models of famous Germans made entirely out of marzipan, and a marzipan nativity and elves.

Check out the details on https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/newsroom/article/gift-drop-for-christmas.html . I'm hoping for a free Festive Pie! 3) For the Maths crowd (I know you're out there) you have a multitude of Mathsy Advent Calendars to choose from. All listed a...
