Advent Calendars


Advent calendars recall the festive atmosphere of Christmas. The name of the calendar originates from the word ‘Adventur’ which means arrival in Latin.

Officially, advent begins on the fourth Sunday that comes before Christmas. Families begin decorating their homes, externally and internally. Special Christmas dishes, Christmas photo albums and other favorite things such as Christmas books and stories are used.

The scene for Nativity is carefully set up.In order to get ready with so many preparations, it is necessary that a person should know how many days one has in hand. Advent calendars provide this need.

They show how much time is left. Some of these calendars are even filled with activities such as recipes, games, crafts and many other fun things.
