Advent calendar
On short, dark days in Advent, the best way to wait for
the Christ Child is with an Advent calendar.
Whether among children or adults, the Advent calendar
finds many friends every year. Advent calendars are now firmly one of the most
popular customs in the Advent season. They are real classics in the run-up to
Christmas. Advent calendars filled with delicious chocolate, small gifts or
great toys are the big hit from 1 to 24 December. Advent calendars are among
the younger customs of the Advent season
It's a bit like counting the clock down to the big
moment, like a countdown. And quite a few think that this has always been the
case. But the history of the Advent calendar is shorter than you think. The
tradition of the Christmas calendar, as some call it alternatively, did not
emerge until about the middle of the 19th century in Germany. However, its origin
cannot be assigned to an exact person.
Today, the Advent calendar is part of the Christmas
season as well as St. Nicholas, Christkind and Christmas tree. With every
window or door that people open day after day to enjoy the treats, photos or
sayings hidden behind them, the anticipation of Christmas, of the arrival of
the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ and, for children, above all of the
presents, of course, increases.
