Christmas is one of the most magical times of the year no matter where you spend your days. But you spend them in a school, it’s more magical than one can imagine. With trees filling the corners of every classroom, paper-made snowflakes hanging from the ceilings and the festive post box that lives in every entrance hall over the month of December. As Love Actually’s Billy Mack would sing, Christmas is truly, all around.

In the run up to the big day, we decided to create some seasonal joy of our own, and asked edu-Twitter to share their favourite Christmas memories from teaching with our hashtag #12daysofTesmas.

A big thank you to those at Oxford Notebooks, The Happiness Planner, Moi-Meme, The Cruelty-Free Beauty Box, Brown Paper Packages, The Blurt Foundation and Your Bath Box for their contributions and support to the education sector, and this Tes giveaway.
