TIL: Advent doesn’t start on 1st December. It starts on the 4th Sunday before Christmas so varies by up to a week. The 1st December ‘tradition’ was invented by companies making advent calendars so the same units/designs can be sold every year.

TIL some people think advent starts on December 1st.

Just don’t ask what’s in those Advent burgers.
