Traditional German Paper Advent Calenders:
We have a wonderful selection of paper advent calenders this year that just arrived from Germany. They range from Santa in a locomotive, a hot air balloon, the White house and in a variety of small towns... all with 24 little doors to open. Each door has a little picture hidden behind it. A great countdown to Christmas. The tradition (that dates back to 1851 in the Protestant parts of Germany) is to open one door each day from December 1 through December 24. Each Calender comes with an envelope.

We have 10 designs to choose from.

Please stop in the shop and take a look at out wonderful calenders. Please call (203 344 1707) with any questions. We can ship these to arrive at your doorstep by Dec 1!
