Advent Calendars

There are only 7 days left on the advent calendars. Christmas Day will soon be here.

I've not seen any advent calendars here in Kuantan. My students are fascinated with our advent calendars which my mum sent from England. That's the fortunate part about having family in England. We can get the best of both worlds!

Who else is looking forward to Christmas this year?

It's the first week of December and preparations for Christmas are well under way. The tree is up, (and has been for a couple of weeks) and plans are advanced for buying presents for the children and family members.

Reflecting back to a year ago, I posted an announcement regarding an upcoming documentary on the trees of Kuantan. The post contains pictorial links to the documentary.

In December of 2009 we put up our brand new advent calendar, a gift from my mum. It's the best such calendar I've ever seen! Take a look at it here:

Advent Calendar Fantastic!

Wishing a happy festive season to all who will be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ this December!

Blummin' 'ell, it's Chriggy again!

If anyone didn't understand that slang English title, it roughly translates as "Wow, doesn't time fly fast, it's almost Christmas again!"

Yes it's time for the advent calendars to be dusted off and withdrawn from the attic and placed lovingly on window sills or near the tree. However, this year, we received the most brilliant advent calendar I've ever seen from my mum. Although it's officially for Lauren, me and Fie still very much enjoy looking at it, and hopefully, nibbling a chocolate here or there!

It will certainly be an exciting build-up to Christmas this year!
