+<h2>The Twelve Days of Dancer</h2>
+
+<p>
+Happy Christmas, and welcome to the Dancer team's advent calendar for
+[% year %]!  We've gone for a cut-down "twelve days of Dancer" approach due to
+a shortage of quality posts and time - we'd rather put out fewer, better
+articles than just a load of filler.
