Hello.

It's almost December.

Xmas is getting close.

I'm sure tomorrow morning you'll all be popping open door #1 and excitedly looking at the traditional Xmas picture. If you're really lucky you may even have a chocolate inside!

But what better way to pass the time towards Xmas than by playing games?

I think that you should be able to get an advent calendar that comes with a cd-rom. On the CD-ROM will be 24 games. (I'm not talking major games here though, shareware games and the like). The games can only be accessed by a password, this is hidden on the back of the door. So every morning you can go over to your calendar, open the door, write down the password, and play the games. Maybe some of the games could be Xmas themed.

Now isn't that a nice idea?

I'm not talking major games here! They would be just little games, puzzles maybe. They would be like the Freeware, and Shareware games that you can get. The games don't need to have the best graphics, as they're just supposed to be time consuming to get you closer to Xmas, when hopefully, you will be getting some games.
Maybe a big company could contribute a demo of their big game for next year as the game under day 24.
I wouldn't expect it to cost more than £7.99.

But how much of would that cost?? And what if you hate one game and love another. You might not play some at all, and end up playing the game you love all the time, which you could've got cheaper on its own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But its a nice idea though.
