Does anyone remember a thread on here a few Christmases ago?

...it was about doing a Christmassy "thing" every day, instead of having an actual adent calendar? For example, watch Xmas-ey film, walk in the woods with a torch, make reindeer food, DS1 reads a Christmas story to DS2 etc etc?
We've done it for a couple of years now - I do one big calendar & put a tiny chocolate each & a something-to-do, but the ideas are becoming very samey! Can anyone think up new festive-themed things to do?

I know which thread you mean.

It was resurrected a few weeks ago so probably easy to find within the first few pages of the Xmas topic.

Thanks! I looked through the first two, then gave up. Will have another look...
