Advent calendars

advent calendar cartoonI have decided not to add to my Advent calendar blog this year because I have too many other projects that are demanding my creative energy and the extra stress will not help me. I have been working on ideas for the advent blog this year, but it is not to be. Perhaps I will draw a few of the cartoons I had worked on and post them here instead and do the full series another year. All of the cartoons from last year are still available of course if you want to look at them on a daily or some other basis.

In the meantime there are now millions of Advent calendars of various sorts online:

If you have come across any innovative, creative or unusual Advent calendars then feel free to post them in the comments.

    I haven’t been too impressed with the CoE Advent calendar so far. What do others think of it?

    I hadn’t found the CofE Advent calendar until now… but I like it. It’s a good, simple idea -and it’s good to hear from very different people what Christmas/Advent means to them. I don’t think an essay was needed behind each door, just a simple reminder of what it’s all about!
    I was quite amused by the ‘no peeping’ message that came up when I tried to open tomorrow’s door (I’m getting better than when I was younger, when I always used to peep behind the 24th door – especially if it was one of those big double ones!).

    Oh and by the way Dave, I saw a copy of your book in our little local bookshop at the weekend! I’ve already got a copy (bought at Greenbelt) but if it’s still there when I go back, I’ll buy it and give it to someone for Christmas!
