Countdown

The Christmas countdown is well under way and the prize for most bizarre Advent calendar so far goes to Lego who have produced a Star Wars calendar.

Lego tell us:
With 24 unique gifts, including iconic minifigures, vehicles and accessories from the Star Wars universe, the all-new LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar is the perfect way to set the festive holidays into hyperspeed!
Do they refer to the baby Jesus as a youngling and does it warn children that the figures aren’t edible?

Sorry Lego but I think I will stick to a more traditional approach and this year will be going for the TradeCraft Advent calendar. You know, the one that reminds us what Christmas is about.

Update 201801: The TradeCraft calendar link no longer works but you can find out more about TradeCraft here.

Hello Phillip,

I hope you're well and your new year is off to a good start! I work with Traidcraft, and noticed a link on your page is broken. I was wondering if you'd mind changing the link of 'Tradecraft Advent' to link to the new site homepage https://www.traidcraftshop.co.uk/ as, due to the time of year, there's no advent specific page at the moment.

Links on blogs such of yours are very influential, so I hope you can help! I couldn't find an email address to be able to contact you directly, but if you have any questions don't hesitate to get in touch with me at amy.cousins@silverbean.com

Take care and all the best for the year ahead.

Amy
