It’s the most wonderful time of year again. But for many it may not always seem like it. So why is it the most wonderful time of year? Because a little bit of magic goes a long way in brightening someone’s day. And that’s just what we are setting out to do.

That is why for this year’s Christmas Countdown we are doing our very first All In Advent! Every day, from 1 December, as we countdown to Christmas, we will post for you a Cheer Challenge for the day, a random act of kindness to brighten someone’s day. Every day will be a new “window” to open out to the world.

So open a window of Christmas Cheer each day right here! It’s our own Advent calendar, it’s all in Advent, and when it comes to Christmas Cheer we are all in!

And as you go about your Christmas Countdown, spreading cheer far and near, we would love to see your photos or hear your stories. You can email them to us, or post them on our Facebook page, or tag us on Instagram, or mention us on Twitter, and we will be compiling all your wonderful stories in a special New Year post right here. And don’t forget the hashtag #AllinAdvent

And remember also the Cup of Kindness tree! It’s back again this year and it is going to be bigger and better than ever. If you’d like to take part just head over to Cup of Kindness to learn all about it.

So go on, spread some Christmas cheer. Are you in? Because we are All In! Be that dog!
