Did you get advent calendars as a kid?
-
It seems like advent calendars are everywhere now (online at least). As a kid, I donβt remember even knowing what an advent calendar was. In fact, I first remember really noticing them when I moved to Japan. I remember another English teacher talked about having her students make them for a cross-cultural activity, and I would see them in import shops where they were presented as an example of a western Christmas tradition. I remember just assuming that it was a British thing.
But evidently thatβs not the case.
Were advent calendars part of your Christmas tradition growing up?

We had one every year growing up and we kids took turns opening the little flaps.

It's just a countdown to Christmas. Each flap reveals a treat of some variety. They have one for Fountain Pen Inks. lol
I was raised Catholic and I had to google it. lol
Advent is the Christian liturgical season of waiting, prayer, and preparation leading up to Christmas. Deriving from the Latin word adventus, meaning "arrival" or "coming," it marks the beginning of the new church year in Western Christianity.
IOW they start repeating the same cherry picked verses from their book.
