Read Calvin with Princeton or eat chocolate and drink beer ...

Hat tip to Ben Myers for the link to Princeton Seminary's website inviting people to mark the Calvin anniversary year by reading the institutes. Apparently there's also a Facebook group and you can download the readings with iTunes.
Meanwhile I suppose it had to happen but the Calvin chocolates have made it onto Ship of Fools Twelve Days of Kitschmas. This may be because Ship of Fools are not yet aware of the Calvinus beer.
Meanwhile I just hope the Calvin09 site will soon get a bit more up to speed with things.
Anyway if you want to know more about Calvin go here and follow the links to read and listen to Theo Gill's lecture on "So who was John Calvin?"
