Advent Calendar

Children are given Advent calendars prior to Christmas. These are usually made of thick paper and display a seasonal scene with 24 doors. Each day, starting on December 1, children open one door to discover a picture behind each one. Modern versions have candy or a small toy behind each door. In the town of Gengenbach, Baden-Württemberg, the town hall has 24 windows and is turned into a giant advent calendar each year.
