Product Description
Elf Christmas Festival German Advent Calendar
This German advent calendar shows an elfish Christmas festival in the forest. Two children hide behind a tree watching the magical scene playing out under the starlit sky. Elves shop for lebkuchen, ride sleds, enjoy a puppet show, ride on a merry-go-round and play music with the woodland animals.
Gingerbread, pretzels and Christmas decorations hang from the trees with an evergreen garland framing the scene.
Tradition of the Advent Calendar
The tradition of the advent calendar dates back to 1851 in the Protestant parts of Germany. The first advent calendar with little doors was printed in the early 1900's and continues today. Advent calendars have 24 little doors to open, with each hiding a little picture. The tradition is to open one door each day from December 1 thru December 24. Children love to open a door a day as they count down to Christmas.
