Product Description
This detailed advent calendar shows the holy night (Heilige Nacht) when Christ was born. A beautifully detailed painting of a lowly manger in the countryside is the central focus of this paper advent calendar with light glowing through the door frame. A shepherd rests with his flock of sheep with a hen, rabbit and dogs nearby. The Christmas story unfolds as the windows are opened Dec. 1st - 24th. This advent calendar has three levels (or layers) enabling extra hidden doors behind doors with bonus Dec. 25th & 26th doors!
The detailed picture has 26 little doors to open. Each door has a little picture behind it. The tradition is to open one door each day from December 1 thru December 24. Children love to open a door a day as they count down to Christmas.
Does Not come with candy or chocolate and does NOT have glitter accents
