     This impressive German advent calendar depicts a Christmas carousel, teeming with animals enjoying Christmas! This humorously illustrated picture advent calendar by the artist Monika Broeske-Haas has numerous details for young and old to discover. The animals enjoy the exuberant atmosphere and Christmas treats. Lovingly designed motifs are also hidden behind the 24 doors, which fit into the overall picture and tell the story of the amusing scene.
      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.
