1st December 2020

What a year it's been! Welcome to our #LockdownAdventCalendar with some of the best things we have done and seen along the way, and lots of seasonal fun to get you in the #FiveDaysOfFreedom Christmas mood.

As usual, we want your ideas and suggestions - send them to our email and we will do our best!

We start this year with our favourite thing from our favourite Christmas advert ... yes, it's John Lewis! We love all the different animation styles, and how even the live action things look like they were drawn by children. Here the wide eyed-moppet jumps off the 222 to Tooting (even though everyone knows it's actually the 333). Notice the pretend bus-stop? Lovely!

We also love all the supermarket adverts, even though it's a bit cheeky how the Lidl one has the Aldi carrot getting roasted and eaten. Poor Kevin!

What's your favourite advert this year, Christmas of otherwise? We still love Mrs "BUM! HIPS!! HEART!!!" with her fridge full of peppers and her astonishing lack of dental knowledge.

"I didn't know Oral-B MADE toothpaste!!"

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!
