The Short Story (and other) Advent Calendars 2021!
One of our favourite things about December here at the Butterflies & Aliens Library is a tradition that began back in 2015 with the publication of the very first Short Story Advent Calendar by Edmonton publishers Hingston & Olsen – a daily December dose of bookish goodness to get us into the holiday spirit!
We’ve featured them before in a post for #SmallPressSaturday, and this year they’ve released not only another edition – despite an earlier announcement that the 2020 edition would be the last – but they’ve also released a second one just for kids!
And by “kids” I am certain they mean “…in spirit and attitude.”
So without further ado, the 2021 Hingston & Olsen Short Story Advent Calendars, accompanied by the also traditional Star Wars LEGO advent calendar. Because Star Wars. And LEGO.
Our advent calendar family, all nestled under the tree.

For the next 25 days, the Butterflies & Aliens Library will be doing a daily post as we reveal what lies behind each numbered cover and door. We’d love for you to join us in the fun, and perhaps play along in a game of “write a synopsis of the story based only on the title” – more on that coming in our first post!
And a heads up that, once we’ve cracked open the final seals, we have a new Butterflies & Aliens tradition that we will be launching, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, Happy Reading and Happy Holidays!
– Winston
