More Christmas traditions:

We like to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol, and (on Youtube) The Box Of Delights, to get us in the Christmas mood. But one of our friends John likes to watch K9 and Company.
For those of you that are too young (it only had one episode, in December 1981) this starred Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, one of Doctor Who's companions, who after she left the TARDIS was sent a robot dog, K9, to protect her. This adventure is set around the Winter Solstice so has a seasonal feel, at least.

A new Christmas tradition is where bespectacled Richard Osman, of Pointless, runs a "World Cup of Christmas" on his Twitter feed. This year is Christmas Films and the first round is still going on and you can vote (if you tweet). Please help Muppet Christmas Carol (or Die Hard) to win!

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!
