In the opening calendar topic we mentioned we were going to try get a hold of Santa to see if he might have a little something for you. We managed to speak with him, even though understandably he is super busy this time of year...

We managed to get 10 x £20 Amazon vouchers!

We'll hold a raffle for the vouchers shortly amongst all participants of the calendar activity, and will let you know who are the lucky winners in this topic.

Merry Christmas @Martin-O2

Great advent calendar and thanks to all involved. Seasons greetings also to @Marjo and @EmilieT

It was a lot of fun and though occasionally went waaaaaayyyyy off topic, who cares? A good time was all that mattered.

How nice of Santa to drop off some Amazon vouchers. Very thoughtful, knowing how busy he was last night.
