Why have an Advent calendar?

We owe the Advent calendars to the Germans, who in 1908 wanted to find a trick to make them wait children until December 24th. For nearly fifty years, Advent calendars were filled with little coloring pages. It was not until the 1960s that they were replaced by chocolates, for our greatest pleasure!

Today Advent calendars are more perceived as gifts in their own right and they have a rather incredible success! Young and old alike snatch them on their first day out in the hope of treating themselves, or offering, a present before Christmas . To keep customers in suspense, we see teasers and presales appearing at the end of October at the beginning of November, and the least we can say is that in terms of compositions, we are far from the colorings of 1908!
