Holy Night Advent Calendar

A treasured Advent calendar has been part of my annual Christmas preparation for decades. But after 30+ years of use, its little doors have begun to fall off. I'm grateful for a friend's suggestion to purchase this one. The illustration is beautiful! It leads me to imagine myself in a procession towards the manger to adore the Christ-child along with musicians, animals and other little ones.
It was a pleasant surprise to find that this calendar is a larger size. It has a sturdy cardboard backing, similar to the thickness of a jigsaw puzzle. I originally bought two, one for my niece and one for her grandparents. After seeing how nice it is, I've ordered a few extra to give to more family members. This will be a lovely activity to share long-distance as we get ready to celebrate Christmas together.

Just to make sure you are clear of what you are getting here this is a piece of cardboard with a nic epicture on the front of it and little cutouts that open to reveal a picture of a toy or christmas ornament. There is no little gift or candy behind the windows. It seems a bit expensive for what it is. Also I am having trouble with opening the individual windows and not popping a neighboring window open at the same time.

Oh well, next year I will buy one from a local store that I know what I am getting but will do it before December as they were all sold out locally.

This is just a gorgeous calendar. It makes a lovely gift for a child or even an adult as it is a pleaseure to look at and really brings the spirit of Christmas into your home.
