O2 Community 2018 Advent Calendar

[Marjo]

Hi everyone!

It's almost time to start counting down to Christmas!! Some of you might remember our fun 12 Days of Christmas activity from last year with lots of holiday-themed topics... 

We're shaking things up a bit this time and making this activity BIGGER: instead of 12 days, we will have a full

Community Advent Calendar, counting down to Christmas Day from December 1st!

How will it work?

• From December 1st, we will be posting one holiday-themed topic per day, until the last one on the 25th December.
• Each morning, you can see that a new window is unlocked in the above calendar. You can click through it to the topic of the day.
• We'd love to see you participating in the topics and having fun!

Let's get the countdown to Christmas started! Can't wait to talk about everything Christmas in the coming month!

         

Update: We now have a few Christmas prizes to give away at the end of the advent calendar! Please see the details HERE.

As this is Christmas themed, I'm going to jump the gun before tomorrow.

Just to say how disappointed I am this year with the John Lewis Christmas advert. Eagerly awaited every year and what a let down for 2018.

Featuring Elton John and flicking backwards through his life. Ending with a little lad (supposedly him) dashing downstairs on Christmas morning to unwrap a large full size piano!!

Loved the fact that Lidl or Aldi hit back in the press, stating "why pay £896 for a piano, when we can offer your child this keyboard for £18.99".

Look forward to seeing what the topics are.
Not seen that @Cleoriff but very amusing!

Good to know that I'm not the only one who dislikes John Lewis' Christmas advert this year. Not very Christmassy. I mean I like Elton John but.....what's the point? So his family got a piano for Christmas and he became the mega star we see now. No mention that he's actually a trained pianist; he didn't just sit down and start playing.

Anyway don't like the advert. I think John Lewis wasted their money.

[Cleoriff]

Indeed. Bring back Buster the Boxer...(at least that had the ahh factor. ):upside_down:

The piano advert smacks of elitism to me..I also don't think  Mrs Dwight would have had the money to buy a piano outright...even back in those days. lol

Not seen it but heard the uproar. Can't stand Reg anyway..

Oh just realised Day 1 has been opened on the calendar graphic.

Very exciting. Where's my chocolate penny?
