Excel Advent Calendar
Okay, it’s a day late, but here’s an Advent calendar that I built in Excel.
Click on one of the numbered shapes, to reveal the Christmas picture behind it.
You can cover the shape again, by clicking on the border of the numbered shape.
And since you probably can’t be trusted, there’s built in cheat protection, so you can’t uncover the days ahead of time. 
Download the Advent Calendar
If you’d like some help in counting down the days till Christmas, you can download the Excel Advent calendar. It’s created in Excel 2007, and you can open it in Excel 2003 if you have the file converter installed.
The Return of Excel Twitters
In other exciting news, the Excel Twitters are being posted again. They’re in smaller batches now, and posted every weekday.

Thanks Debra,
Each day, I’ll print off 50 color copies and staple them to the back of everyone’s chair.
Oh, they’ll say things like “Stop wasting printer ink” and “If you do don’t stay away from my cubicle, I’ll kick your A$$.”
But I’ll know - deep inside - they’ll be filled with Christmas spirit.

Mike, they’ll thank you eventually, and that gratitude will warm your heart, as you stand in line at the unemployment office.
It might be better to put a copy on everyone’s desktop as wallpaper, and update it daily. Do you have admin rights, or hacking skills?
