1: Advent part deux

To build a fire. 
Regular readers of this blog (hello Mom!) will recall that last year I devoted an inordinate amount of time to a virtual Advent calendar.

I would like to do the same thing this year, albeit on a smaller budget and for more austere times. So I will post one Advent photo every day in December.

Friends: here's an open invitation from my HQ to yours to create and share your own Advent photo calendar. Fill it with a daily picture, a daily thought, total nonsense, whatever.

Here's the first of my Christmas lights - a luminaria from last Christmas Eve.

By the way, you might be interested to find out that 'austere' is actually an old Saxon word that means fewer frills and a lot more crap.

  1. wow I love this idea of a virtual advent calendar and would love to take part! I will certainly try my best to post a picture every day but on the 17th we leave to Australia so not sure what my internet accessibility will be like once we get there, but I will certainly participate from now until then - and as much as I can from there xxx

  3. What a fab idea. I'd love to take part but I have a completely hectic month (and I'm not just saying that - going away next week and in Jan) so can I just admire yours? x

  4. Of course! You are welcome here any time - I understand it is a super-hectic month(why can't we do advent calendars in Feb?). Hope you are off to somewhere exciting over the holidays :)
