Advent Calendars

Advent calendars, which have been around since the 19th century, are a great way to count down the days to Christmas. The advent calendar starts on the first day of December and goes through Christmas Eve. In the past, advent calendars have been done as chalk drawing or even by lighting candles. It is more common to see a wooden, fabric, or even cardboard calendar to count the days until Christmas.
