Welcome to Mr Monkey's 2023 Advent Calendar!
It works pretty much like a real advent calendar; run your mouse inside the little rectangles on the picture to check the date the picture is for, then click to reveal the picture. Of course, pictures won't be revealed before the right day (so it's not that like a real advent calendar).
Click on the picture a second time to close it, purely for the experience of opening it again.
Many pictures are animated; all but two of these should not loop. To repeat an animation click on it to close the picture, then click again to re-open it.
Some animations are paired, and opening one will cause another already open animation to run again.
There are eight pictures for Christmas Day, which will appear at different times on the 25th. The full set can be seen by repeated clicking on Boxing Day and the following days.
Mr Monkey's Advent Calendar will be usable throughout December and up to Twelfth Night (January 6th) when all your Christmas decorations, including advent calendars, should be taken down and stored for the next time.
This page uses cookies only to remember how you left the calendar on your last visit. The cookies will expire by Twelfth Night at the latest.
