I’m sort-of in mourning at the moment. A few days ago, our provincial government announced mandatory pandemic measure that made it illegal for families to hold indoor gatherings, under penalty of pretty severe fines. Although the measures are “temporary” and will be revisited in three weeks’ time, the threat was made pretty clear: If COVID

I confess that I didn’t know what an advent calendar was until I was an adult. We didn’t get them in Australia, although I’m sure the global-village influence means you can
