We’re really excited about the fun theme we have planned for December. Austen Variations is going to turn into Jane Austen’s Advent Calendar! We’ll have our own online Advent Calendar, and when you click on the date, it’ll take you to a fun Jane Austen treat, activity, or story. And what better way to get in the spirit than a giveaway of Advent calendars of a stately English Christmas? We have two Advent calendars by Alison Gardiner up for grabs (US readers only, sorry!). Join in the Advent calendar spirit by commenting here for a chance to win!
The calendars are 8 1/4″ x 5 3/4″ inches. We’ll be picking winners on Friday, Nov 24 to allow delivery by Dec 1. And do come back on December 1 for Jane Austen’s Advent Calendar!
Christmas at Highgrove House Advent Calendar
Christmas at the Palace Advent Calendar
Edited to add: The winners of the Advent Calendar are Theresa M and Megan. I’ve sent you emails to get your snail mail address! I hope everyone comes back on Dec 1 for our Jane Austen’s Advent Calendar.

Highgrove House looks intriguing. Looking forward to this month’s theme.
Both calendars are great. I love advent calendars, a great tradition in our family. I cam looking forward to December 1st for the first opening.
What a wonderful idea! I love the reindeer on the palace grounds!
What a wonderful idea! I imagine many smiles and surprises upon opening each, perhaps even learning something new. Both calendars are delightful.
What fun to not only have a chance to win an Advent Calendar but, more especially, to have an only line daily Jane Austen Advent Calendar. I have always given my children, and now my grandsons, advent calendars so now I have a chance to have my own. Thank you.
The calendars are beautiful. If I win I’ll give it to my niece who loves Jane Austen!
I love the idea of the on-line advent calendar….great way to get some stress-free time!
Thanks!!!
I love advent calendars as it was a Christmas tradition in my household. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the Christmas at Highgrove House Advent calendar!
Looking forward to all the ‘special treats’!
It’s beautiful. Ii lovedthe srory about everyone being stranded at Bighgrove House . This is a lovely reminder. I have always loved Advebt Calendars. As a child I thought the days passed too slowly. Now I think they go too quickly.
Looking forward to December!! I can not wait to see what each day will bring!!
That’s wonderful!!! You and the other authors come up with some of the greatest ideas!!! Thanks so much
What a great idea and gift. Looking forward to what each day will bring. Happy December!
I’ve never owned an Advent Calendar, though I look at and admire them annually. Thanks so much for the opportunity! Looking forward to what you guys come up with.
Both calendars look great!
So excited for the giveaway and fun in December!!
Very fun idea. Thanks for your creativity!!
What a great idea – thanks!
How fun is that! And adorable, too! Both look tremendous 😉 I admit, I adore the idea of experiencing a Regency Christmas. I soak up those stories, JAFF and romance alike, come Christmas-time.
They’re beautiful!
Advent calendars are almost an obsession of mine. Seriously, I spend more time picking out a new one for my niece, nephew and me than I do picking out a tree. These look fabulous!
Beautiful calendar, and a fun idea for December! Can’t wait to see what each day will bring!
How FESTIVE!! Can’t wait!!
Sounds like December will be a a lot of fun! I’d love to win one of the advent calendars. Thanks!
What a wonderful idea. I look forward to all the fun! Thank you all who are contributing to it! And of course, to win a real advent calendar would be great!
Sounds like fun! Looking forward to it.
I love them…as a kid we had them every year!!!! Love to win it!!!!
Such gorgeous calendars. Advent is my favorite time of year…almost more than Christmastide. We’ve celebrated Advent as a family since 2001 and love lighting the Advent candles on our kitchen table and enjoying the goodies in the pockets of our cloth wall-hanging Advent calendar that my sister-in-law made us the year we moved into our home (16 years ago now).
These are so lovely and fun–crossing my fingers and wishing HARD!!
Warmly,
Susanne 🙂
My kids don’t understand why I’m so excited by an advent calendar — one not for kids.
What a sweet start to the holiday season!
The artwork is lovely! What a treat to look at this every day!
The artwork is lovely! Sometimes it’s the small thing nag that make our holiday great!
What fun!
Boo hoo! Canadians are excluded from the fun!
Oh my goodness. I far more than simply esteem these. And the highgrove one…💜💜
What a great idea! Now I will be sure to come to Austen Variations every day. What beautiful calendars you found! I wish every one could win!
I hope I’m in time to join! Beautiful calendars! And Happy Thanksgiving!
Lovely calendar and idea!
My Calendar came in the mail today. It is beautiful! Thank you Abigail for the bookmark and short story surprises!
Merry Christmas!
