And something curious about the emergence of the Advent calendar:
In Catholic and Protestant Western Europe, the countdown to Christmas and the so-called Advent calendars have an established tradition and a long history.
As early as the beginning of the nineteenth century, the German Lutherans celebrated Advent * (from Latin, adventus – arrival, coming) as a period of joyful anticipation and ritually counted down the time until Christmas.
The very predecessor of the modern Advent calendar appears in the early twentieth century. In 1908, the Munich printing house Reichhold & Lang printed a typographic circulation of 24 color pictures, which the children pasted one by one on a piece of cardboard on each of the days before Christmas. In the following years, the printing house began to produce calendars with small doors, behind each of which there was a biblical or Christmas picture. The original idea for the calendars came from one of the owners of the printing house, Gerhard Lang. When he was little, his mother made such a calendar herself, probably in an attempt to stop her son’s incessant questions about how many days were left until Christmas. Little Gerhard opened their doors one by one and found a sweet one behind each. In the first decades of the twentieth century, the grown-up Gerhard invented, and his printing house began producing over 30 different designs of Christmas calendars. However, as he failed to retain the rights to his idea, competing manufacturers quickly appeared on the market, and his own company went bankrupt in the 1930s. During the Second World War and in the years after it, due to a shortage of paper and cardboard, the mass production of Advent calendars in Western Europe was temporarily suspended. It resumed in the 1950s, and when Newsweek magazine published a picture of such a calendar in the hands of President Eisenhower’s grandchildren in 1953, the tradition became popular overseas.
