On the seventh day before Christmas, we were hoping for a White Christmas... ...but had to content ourselves with pictures from when the College was covered in snow in November last year! Is it snowing where you are? #ChristmasCountdown

🎄On the eighth day before Christmas, a tree twinkled in the Lodge. As well as our big Christmas tree in the Quad, the St Anne's Porters have got their own, slightly more modest-sized one in the Lodge. Is your tree up yet? #ChristmasCountdown

📚On the ninth day before Christmas, the Library opened their Advent Calendar! The Advent Calendar has wintery book suggestions for every day of advent, so go and check it out in the Hartland House Library if you are still in College. #ChristmasCountdown

☃️On the tenth day before Christmas, the College Archive showed us this snowy snap taken of the Quad by Valerie Beeby (1952), c.70 years ago. How College has changed since the 1950s! #ChristmasCountdown

As the sun sets today, we wish all our alumnae and friends who celebrate a warm and happy Hanukkah! #HappyHanukkah 🕎🕯️

❄️ On the eleventh day before Christmas, the winter light shone through our stained glass snowflake. This festive design is part of the set which were all made by the late Dr Hazel Rossotti, much-loved College tutor. #ChristmasCountdown
