With the 1st of December less than a few week away it’s time to start planning your Advent Calendar of 2011!! We have a wonderful selection we just put up in the store, and are very excited to share them with you! Our Advent Calendars carry on a long tradition. Originating in Germany, Advent Calendars are used to mark the days of Advent leading up to Christmas day.

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.
