Anyone who knows me knows that there is a tradition that I never skip: every December I create an illustrated Advent Calendar.

The tradition of the Advent Calendar in my family goes back several generations.

There has already been the classics a bon-bon a day, there has already been a poem a day, there has already been games to play with the family, etc.

A few years ago I took over this chain and started the ‘a drawing and a poem’ a day Advent Calendar.

Normally in the end, on the 24th, all the drawings fit together, like a jigsaw puzzle, to form an image, a gift for all of you.

This year the Advent Calendar is not only a gift for all of you, but also a GIF for all of you. There´s always a story in my illustrated Advent Calendars. With some peaceful days, some 'animated' days, like it real life.

This is Day 1

Wish you all a lovely December
