12 Days of Christmas – The Teaser
By
Can you believe it? Two weeks today, we’ll all be sitting at the tops of our stairs at 2.00am, listening intently for the sound of bells jingling and hoofs on the roof, wondering: has he been yet?
The excitement is almost too much to bear, so to help distract you in the lead up to the big day, we’re running our annual 12 Days of Christmas posts, beginning this coming Sunday. And yes, we’re well aware that traditionally the 12 days of Christmas begin on Christmas Day, whereas ours ends on Christmas Eve. And yes, we’re also well aware that the ever-lovely Paul Cornell has been doing something similar for years (where do you think we stole the idea got the inspiration from? – do go see his, too – it’s always fun).
For our 12 Days celebration we’ve asked every one of the authors we published in 2009 to send us something Christmassy, and they’ve all come up with something wonderful, from cut-out-and-keep book-themed decorations and custom photo shoots through to original short fiction, and much more – there’s something new every day! The Angry Robot office posse makes the numbers up to 12. Goodness knows what we’ll do next year when we’ve published dozens of authors – maybe an advent calendar.
Ooh, ooh, ooh – be sure to tune in after lunch on Christmas Day, too, when we will be presenting our own alternative Christmas Speech…
