What is an Advent calendar?
Advent - the name of Advent Catholics. Advent calendar - Christmas time waiting. Once upon a time, in the XIX century, lived in Germany a boy by the name of Gerhard. And he was so fond of Christmas (in fact, as we know, it is a holiday, during which children receive sweets and gifts) that he could not bear to wait for him to attack. And every day my mother asked: "Well, when it will be Christmas?" And so he tortured her, she broke down and I make it out of construction paper calendar where there were so many windows, how many days are left before the left holiday. Behind each window was hidden a little biscuit. Gerhard was allowed to open only one door per day and eat a welcome treat. So the boy was able to score without a mother, how many days until the festival in exchange for a tiny gift.
And so he remembered the joyful emotions in anticipation of the holiday, when he grew up and became a respected man named Richard Zellmer, then put the production of Advent calendars on stream. Today, Advent calendars are popular all over the world!
