Advent calendars have become a staple tradition of Christmas, helping us to count down the days from the 1st to the 24th of December. The word ‘Advent’ is derived from the Latin word for ‘coming’. Advent calendars can be traced back to the 19th century when families would mark every day in December until Christmas Eve with a chalk line. Originally, the four-week period known as Advent began as a time for converts to Christianity to prepare for baptism. It is now more commonly associated with the celebrated anniversary of Christ’s birth. No matter how you celebrate Christmas, let us help with the countdown to the sweet Christmas time with our 24-door Christmas calendar. Cheers.
