This December the Web-Translations team have been getting into the festive spirit by sharing their very own advent calendar on social media.
This advent calendar is full of lots of festive facts and it includes some of our favourite festive words as well as our favourite festive traditions. 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 post exploring all of our favourite international Christmas films!
First up, we started with stamps!
And for day two, we continued the postage theme…
After this, we moved to the advent theme on day three…
However, on day four we learnt about an unexpected tradition…
Subsequently, things got interesting as we talked about goats on day five! Yes … goats!
Equally on day six, we continued the interesting theme and spoke about radishes!
On day seven we returned to normality and looked to vocabulary…
Movies were our focus on day eight…
Next, on day nine, we chose to stay close to home…
Candles took our fancy on day ten…
And festive bops took to the scene on day eleven…
Following this, the nativity took centre stage…
We explored Christmas giving on day thirteen…
Then we explored food on day fourteen … YUM!
Another film took to the scene on day fifteen…
But we were enchanted by apples on day sixteen…
Music once more entertained us on day seventeen…
Then on day eighteen we spoke about a well-known holiday…
We returned to interesting traditions with marzipan on day nineteen…
Then we were fascinated by shoe-throwing on day twenty…
Another song came about on day twenty one…
And money was the focus on day twenty two…
Holidays were discussed on day twenty three…
And last but not least, we learnt about an epic roller skating tradition on day twenty four!
And that’s it! We hope you have enjoyed learning about festive traditions from all over the world! We’ve certainly loved it!
