2018 Online Advent Calendar

Here is our Online Advent Calendar, it will be updated every day.

Hope you enjoyed the Advent Calendar this year! Remember to leave comments on each day to let people know you have visited too.

I have to say, the idea of asking for Christmas Songs was a genius idea, though I say so myself!  It's been so much fun listening to all the songs everyone has shared while I read and comment.  I shouldn't pick a favourite really but I did love the video of the Silent Monks performing the Hallelujah Chorus that Deborah shared on her post.  Here it is again:

I love Christmas songs (to the point where I will randomly start singing them throughout the year) so I am very much enjoying the calendar this year. I've already found some awesome songs/versions I didn't know before!
