Night Before Christmas Advent Calendar House


This advent calendar is wonderfully different and still very traditional at the same time. 

It takes a while to work out what is going on there but it's worth it. 

This stone resin advent house is made from four pillars. On the inside you'll find Clement C Moore's A Night Before Christmas poem with illustrations. 

Inside the house are tiny ornaments to hand on the windows of the house in the countdown to Christmas.

Christmas cookies

Well this is a great idea. This Schmidt Advent calendar is filled with German Lebkuchen.

Lebkuchen are spiced cookies in various shapes covered with chocolate or frosting. 

Mmm. We're big Lebkuchen fans in our house. 

This advent calendar is beautifully designed and makes a lovely advent gift.

The 2011 Hallmark " 'TWAS THE MONTH BEFORE CHRISTMAS" Countdown Ornament features a jolly Santa preparing for Christmas. 

On each day of advent you turn the knob to increase the number. Then you get to listen to one of 24 different stories - a new one each day. 

You listen in as Santa and his helpers make toys and prepare for Christmas. (Batteries included.)

What a fun idea!

 

I hope you found an Unusual Advent Calendar

The first advent calendars were simply marks made with chalk, or cuts into wood with a knife. There's something appealing about continuing a tradition that our ancestors followed, but adding our own modern twist and evolving the tradition.
