If you haven’t purchased an advent calendar yet - perhaps you’re avoiding chocolate, or HAVE DECIDED TO ACT LIKE A GROWN-UP - I am pleased to be able to direct you to a couple of online places which might fill that gap nicely.
Firstly the website of The Word, the magazine which started out as a nice alternative to all those magazines aimed at fifty quid man, and then decided to just become one itself.
That is by-the-by hereandnow though, because the nice uncles at the publication have gone and done an advent calender which will link to a different Christmas-themed YouTube viddything every day of December.

You might have missed the first video, in which case I shall post it here:

Good baby Christ, that was fucking horrific, wasn’t it?
Let’s move on to the advent calender of London club night Ultimate Power. This was forwarded to me by Duncan at Tech Digest (check out his music industry musings here), who likes a power ballad of a workday afternoon.
Since the the 1st of December linked to Toto’s “Africa”, I have decided this video advent calender - or “videocal” - is the one that our office shall hear from every day this month. Bring on the over-emotive gesticulating!
