Christmas: Advent Calendars
Where did they start?
One December a mother cut a cake into 24 pieces and put them onto a piece of cardboard. Her little boy got to eat one piece each day until Christmas. That little boy grew up to be a printer. He always remembered what his mother had done, and in 1903 he produced the first Advent Calendar.
It had 24 little windows. Behind each window was a picture of something he had wished for as a child - mostly toys.
