Have you heard of a reverse advent calendar?

Every day you put something in a box and on Christmas Eve you give it to a food bank or similar..

Nice idea for the children and not too late to start?


This outrageously over-the-top escapist gorgeousness is one of my favourite film clips.

What is yours?

What an uplifting start to the day - thank you! It's nice to have some different music in my head now too - the same cd of Christmas songs has been on loop for the last two days at the Christmas fair... Final day today. Love the reverse advent calendar - that's given me some ideas.

And yay for outrageously over-the-top escapist gorgeousness!

The reverse advent calendar is a great way of showing that Christmas should be a time for giving and sharing rather than simply receiving.

A coffee shop in our town is where I heard of the idea - they are collecting for a food bank.

Had not heard of reverse Advent calendar, but a lovely idea.

Escapist fun: I DVR Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire movies and just skip through them to watch the dance sequences.

The reverse advent calender is new to me too. Like the idea.

I may have mentioned it before; I never get tired of watching Singing In the Rain with Gene Kelly

Joyful indeed! And a wonderful reminder that i need to dance more often....we used to dance all the time...when did that stop?

We do get out of the habit don't we? I know an 85 year old who was looking for a Zumba class. The keep-fit classes she was going to were too boring!
