     This German Advent calendar, with glitter accents, shows an elfish Christmas festival in the forest.  Two children hide behind a tree watching the magical scene playing out under the starlit sky.  Elves shop for baked goods, ride sleds, enjoy a puppet show, ride on a merry-go-round and play music with the woodland animals. Gingerbread, pretzels and Christmas decorations hang from the trees with an evergreen garland framing the scene.
  This is a slightly smaller version of the #10419 calendar we also sell.
    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.
