Advent 2023 Round Up
Following on from the success of our first Web-Translations advent calendar last year, we thought it’d be rude not to create a new one this year! We’ve been sharing all the days on our social media.
This year’s advent calendar is full of various ways to say ‘Merry Christmas‘ around the world, as well as some of the traditions that take place. On social media, the team have been sharing short videos each day of the doors being opened. However, in case you’ve missed it, don’t fret! In this blog post we’ve collated all of our advent surprises and put together a complete Christmas countdown for you!
So, sit back and relax as we look back over our festive month! Also, don’t forget to check out our other festive blog posts including one all about our favourite international Christmas films!
