Product Description
A wooden toy train loaded with Christmas goodies is depicted on this German paper advent calendar. The train chugs along through the snowy forest floor with a mouse holding a lantern to light the way in the night of an enchanted woods on Christmas Eve. Each train car is packed with gingerbread, fruit, fir trees and stuffed toys. The charming scene is framed with cut out stars, moon & hearts and woodland animals.
The detailed picture has 24 little doors to open, with each hiding a small 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.
