The Advent Calendar Tradition
Advent Calendars are a traditional part of the Christmas season, originating in Germany in the mid-nineteenth century. Advent calendars help us enjoy the season of anticipation as we wait for the joy of Christmas. While Advent calendars began as a Christian way of remembering the story of Jesus during Advent, these calendars are now an immensely popular part of the holiday season for religious and non-religious families too.
These days there are lots of Advent calendar alternatives you can use to celebrate the season of anticipation with your family. Many retailers sell calendars with small chocolates, stickers, and tiny toys. You can purchase a single use calendar each year or refill a reusable keepsake calendar for your family every Christmas.
