Join our annual Winter Window trail! ❄

Every night from Dec 1 to Dec 24 at least one decorated window will be revealed; the locations will be posted on an online map so walking routes can be planned: http://tinyurl.com/WinterWindows2023

We invite you to sign up to be on our map: choose a date, light your window for the first time on that date, and light it every night until New Years so we have time to enjoy. Any theme is welcome - past windows have celebrated Christmas, Hanukkah, Solstice, Nature, Pokemon... Anything which brings joy to a month with very short, dark days.

The only thing we ask is that you include the date/number on your window so it looks like a calendar.

Living Advent Calender 2021

to Dec 31

Living Advent Calender 2021

Get your sparkle on - ✨Advent windows are BACK!✨

What are Advent windows? We ask homes to light up a decorated window on an assigned night and keep it lit until Dec 31. The calendar and locations are posted publicly so people can walk around to see the latest display. What better way to walk in a winter wonderland!

Want to sign up your window? Sign up for a date with this link: https://tinyurl.com/EPNGwindows2021 -- If you are unable to use this process, pop us a message and we’ll help.) If you have neighbours you think might like to join in, spread the word! The more hosts, the better!

Check out the map for our Advent Window 2021 Walk!

⭐️P.S. - We call it an advent calendar because it’s an easy way for people to immediately understand the fun ‘countdown reveal’ pattern of this collective project, but we have always made it clear that we welcome all holiday traditions and forms of decoration. We’ve had Hanukkah, Solstice, and Kwanzaa windows, and one year had a window devoted entirely to Batman (because, Awesome)! There have been windows with book characters, movie scenes, emojis, light shows, old barbies, paper snowflakes, funny pet photos, images from nature, and messages of peace. Anything that sparks joy and prompts a smile is a good theme for a decorated window. Our only ‘rule’ is that you display the number (date) of your first display night so that the whole project ties together with a calendar theme.
