Did You Know that research shows that people who put their Christmas decorations up early are perceived as being more friendly.

Now, isn't that nice! :D

Goodwill And Custard!!!!!!

It's Day 3!!!!!

Now, before we open today's door - a little message.
We may not have access to the Advent Calendar over the weekend, so we are going to do something naughty and open THREE doors today!

So - for today: WHAT'S BEHIND THE DOOR TODAY??????

*Opens door*

Did You Know that snail mucus is used in skin creams? Snail mucus? :o

Now let's open Day 4

Did you Know that 'yaffle' is an old country term for the Green Woodpecker?

Now we know how Professor Yaffle got his name!

Now for Day 5

Did You Know that 'Dumbledore' is an old term for a Bumblebee? JK Rowling decided on the old professor's name as she imagined him humming to himself.

And that's it for now ;)

I’ll give you a related one free, as I only found out recently from a friend who has worked in pharmaceutical materials

You know that really posh face creams contain “marine collagen”?

Apparently it is mostly extracted from the shell mountains left when preparing farmed prawns :shock:

I like the idea of Prof Dumbledore as a bumble bee

Knew about yaffles and dumbledores. Indeed, my Dorset-born great grandmother always called bumble bees dumbledores. :D
