Product description
THe advent calendar is a tradition dating back to the mid-1800s. Originally, they were designed to mark the days of “Advent”, a four week holiday period leading up to the Feast of the Nativity, which was not always on standard dates. The calendars served as the original “reason for the season” reminders in many families' homes. Today, we use it as a way to count up the 24 days before December 25th, our Christmas.
