Product Description
Gnome Themed Advent Calendar
This German advent calendar features a free standing 3D design with Christmas trees framing the inner scene. Fritz Baumgarten (1883-1966) created a happy Christmas world of Gnomes with his charming illustrations. The Gnomes carry holiday goods to their forest tree home as angels enter leading a Christmas parade.
First published in the 1950s, this nostalgic calendar is now being reprinted true to the original. The detailed picture has 24 little doors to open, with each hiding a little picture.
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. 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.
