The Advent Calendar
I believe this book to be a modern classic, written by Bishop Steven Croft, 2006. The blurb on the back says: 'Packed with codes and secrets and inviting us to explore the deeper meaning of Christmas, this enthralling and touching tale can be read on many levels, and is suitable for adults and children alike.'

Inside was something even better. Inside all was darkness, except for a tiny, living candle flame.
the code was 9:2.

30th Nov 2010
This is the first day in which the main characters are imaginatively drawn. Sam a young man, or an old lad, living with his sister Meg Carroll (just until things get sorted out (or not)) and Alice - Megs daughter.
Miss Carroll has been selected to receive a special Advent Calender to be picked up at Hamley's on 30th November. And guess who the letter is signed from??? ohhh I can't spoil that. But here is a little just to wet the appitite:
'What on earth has an Advent Calendar got to do with religion?' thought Sam, on the way to the pub. [...]'Beats me, Sadvent more like.' [...]
Bowler-hat man came back and stood behind a low counter. Between them was a large brown parcel, tied with string.
'Here it is sir, all ready for you. The Advent Calendar. I hope you like it.'
[...]
'There must be lots of chocolate in there!'
'Oh, I doubt it sir, I doubt it, although you can never be quite sure.'
