Christmas time is magic time and early December is a perfect period to get ready for holidays. The best way to prepare for Christmas and not to miss anything is to follow a special calendar. It is called the Advent calendar.
Origin of Advent calendar
First of all, a couple of words about what is Advent calendar itself. Advent is a period of four weeks before Christmas, in other words, the busiest time in front of the holiday. In Latin, the word ‘advent’ means ‘coming’.
The origin of Advent calendar dates back to the 19th century. Today, the main purpose of these calendars is to help people make plans for the future celebration in advance. As there is so much work to do before Christmas, like buying presents, decorating a Christmas tree, signing gift cards, and so on, the Advent calendar serves like a kind of reminder not to miss all important points.
