Contour punched, for handicrafts, setting up and self-filling
    It's time again! The first Christmas gifts, fragrant treats and mulled wine are bought at the Christmas markets. With this handicraft advent calendar, you can now set up and design your own little Christmas market at home. Huts, cottages, fir trees and churches are already pre-punched and can be easily put together without glue (glue only necessary for the church tower roof). They provide space (the dimensions of the house approx. 2" x 1 3/4" x 2 3/4") for sweet, personal gifts that will bring joy in the run-up to Christmas! And with the numbered stickers included, you can choose your own route through the Advent season on the market. A wonderful gift for everyone who can't wait for the presents to be given, and a unique Christmas decoration, lovingly illustrated by Mo Büdinger.
    The tradition of the advent calendar dates back to 1851 in the Protestant parts of Germany. The first advent calendar with little doors was printed in the early 1900's and continues today.
    This calendar was printed in Germany, by the Korsch-Verlag Co., near Munich. Founded by Adolf Korsch Verlag in 1951.  Carefully selected motifs have been published every year, imaginatively down to the smallest detail, exclusively and lovingly illustrated by the artist's hand, accompanying you through the most beautiful time of the year.
    The detailed picture has 24 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.
