Where did advent calendars come from?
Advent calendars have become a non-negotiable part of Christmas for many, but where did they come from?
This tradition started way back in the 19th century in Germany. Not quite as glamorous as today's calendars, people started marking the lead-up to Christmas with chalk markings or lighting candles. Today, advent calendars come in all shapes and sizes, from the classic sweet delights to new sock drawer additions!
