1st December 2018

Welcome to one and all! We hope you are enjoying your weekend and maybe, just maybe, you are putting up your tree and decorations today.

As usual, we'd love to have your pictures, stories and jokes for the days ahead so do send them in.

Today's picture is from Hilary. We've already done way too much Christmas food shopping, now that the mince pies in the shops won't have gone off by the middle of December. But we haven't done any Christmas baking. Hilary says "Here’s a picture of some upside down gingerbread men!"

Update: Hilary is doing a new picture every day! So check her out on Twitter for loads of great Advent Calendar snaps: https://twitter.com/hilaryosborne

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!
