The Countdown Has Begun

Get in the holiday spirit AND improve your English with me.

You won’t find any gifts or chocolate here behind the doors. But you will learn something about Christmas in the English-speaking world—and possibly some new words.

The countdown to Christmas has begun … Today is the traditional start of the Christmas season.

Did you receive an advent calendar this year? With chocolate in Christmassy shapes or just one with an image behind each window?

Don’t worry if you didn’t. You’ve got mine to look forward to. Every day during Advent.
