Door 1 · December 1 · How they met
The coffee day
I thought I was just grabbing a coffee that day. I had no idea I was about to meet you.
Example
Virtual Advent calendar example for a long-distance couple
Camille lives in Paris, Thomas in Montréal: 5,000 km and a 6-hour time difference. Here is the Advent calendar she made for him, as Thomas sees it on the evening of December 5: doors 1 to 5 are open, the others are waiting for their day.
Camille and Thomas are made up for this example. The calendar is the real one: the very page the person you give it to receives.
Open the doors like Thomas
Tap an open door, from 1 to 5. A locked door does not open before its day: its content only reaches Thomas’s phone at midnight, his time.
What is inside the open doors
The same doors, as text: what Thomas finds each morning.
Door 2 · December 2 · Her voice
My voice
Voice note, transcribed
“Hey you… It’s midnight where you are. Even 5,000 km away, I wanted to be the first to wish you a good day.”
In a real calendar, this door holds the voice note recorded in the editor. The example shows its words.
Door 3 · December 3 · Their joke
Remember?
Remember when we missed our train because you absolutely had to buy croissants?
Door 4 · December 4 · Their song
Our song
Put your headphones on. This song is still the two of us in the car.
Listen to “La vie en rose” (Louis Armstrong) on YouTube In the calendar, the song plays right inside the door.
Door 5 · December 5 · The letter
A letter
Sometimes I wish I could shrink the distance between us. Until then, I’m sending you a little piece of me every morning.
Doors 6 to 23 · Locked. Their content is never sent before their day, not even hidden in the page: the surprise stays whole until the end.
Door 24 · December 24 · The revealSneak peek
December 24
Surprise: on December 27, we meet in Paris. This time, no more saying goodnight over the phone.
This example’s one exception: in the real calendar, door 24 stays locked until midnight on December 24 in Thomas’s time zone, and its content is not even sent to his phone before then.
