I have a calander on my desk and every day there is a year - and you have to guess the number 1 before you (I) can eat the chocolate.

1962 - any guesses - no googling!

    does anyone know if it is possible to get an advent calendar that is some form of religious / christmas connection ?

    ie. not High School Musical, WWF Raw etc

    I agree with 1905, something Beatley, or did Elvis have any xmas number one's?

    What happens if you get the number 1 wrong, does the chocolate dissolve, do you have to give it away, or is it just a morale loss to you, and the calender feels smug for a while...

    I'll guess at Telstar for 1962 number 1.

    It was the King, Return To Sender, not a christmas song but a Jackie Wilson tribute'esq song he did for the film Girls, Girls, Girls


    He did have plenty of xmas songs, but none ever got to No1 in this country

    Lakeland, the kitchenware people, do a couple of nativity scenes but with wooden nativity characters rather than chocs behind each door.

    Quite pricey but if that is your thing. Most likely can use then again next year as well.

    But think of the kudos you will get when Charlton Athletic PLC sues Charlton Life for breach of brand name copyright and you can offer your services for free ; - )

    Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane was a double A but I think that was later.

    Was it Day Tripper and A N Other track? Would be about the right time. Rubber Soul

    I'll be good at this when I reach 8 or 9 : -)
