Advent Calendar

Christmas is here. Though we are still in November, everybody is thinking about Christmas. Advertisements remind us that the date is near and cities and towns look gorgeous and colourful with thousands of light bulbs. But is Christmas in England celebrated the same way as it is here in Spain? Do you know about the tradition of the advent calendar? Having a countdown calendar for Christmas was a popular tradition that began in Germany in the late 1800s and spred throughout Europe and North America. Advent Calendars are a funny way for children to count down to the night of December 24th when Santa Claus brings their toys. Nowadays many adults also enjoy advent calendars (usually with a chocolate treat behind each door!). "Advent" id from the Latin "adventus", meaning "the coming"(the church´s preparation for Christmas)

Here you have a special advent calendar which, instead of giving you chocolates, provides you with food for thought. I hope you enjoy the game and I wish you a happy countdown to Christmas Holiday
