Comes December, are you looking forward to open the very first box on your Advent Calendar?
Here is a little bit of History: “Like many others aspects of modern Christmas practices, the Advent Calendar is of German origin. From the early nineteenth century, at the latest, German Protestants began to mark the days of Advent either by burning a candle for the day or, more simply, marking walls or doors with a line of chalk each day.
A new practice of hanging a devotional image every day ultimately led to the creation of the first known handmade, wooden, Advent calendar in 1851.
Calendars filled with chocolate began to appear from the late 1950s around the time that they also began to spread around the world. Eisenhower is sometimes credited with the American popularization of them having been photographed while President opening them with his grandchildren”. (Credit: Doing History in Public)
