Advent Calendars

The Advent Calendar is believed to have been created in the early 19th century to mark the days of Advent leading up to Christmas. The Advent calendar counts down the 24 days of December ending on Christmas Eve and is very popular with kids. It is a joyful activity that helps children learn about preparing for Jesus' birth, as well as a great way to enjoy the excitement and anticipation leading up to Christmas day. Some Advent calendars have doors to open that reveal some symbol of Advent or Christmas, while others have symbols that are individually placed on the calendar for each day. Whatever kind of Advent calendar you choose, your child is sure enjoy this fun tradition.
