You might have noticed that beauty advent calendars are big business this year, with brands all across the price spectrum getting in on the festive act.
How many days till Christmas? Children come up with this question many times during the month of December and this impatience is part of the reason why children would love to have a Christmas calendar.
Advent calendars range in theme, from sports to technology. They come in a multitude of forms, from a simple paper calendar with flaps covering each of the days to fabric pockets on a background scene to painted wooden boxes with cubby holes for small items.
Many Advent calendars take the form of a large rectangular card with "windows",of which there are usually 24: one for each day of December leading up to and including Christmas Eve (December 24). Consecutive doors are opened every day leading up to Christmas, beginning on December 1. The calendar windows open to reveal an image, a poem, a portion of a story (such as the story of the Nativity of Jesus), or a small gift, such as a toy or a chocolate item. Often, each window has a Bible verse and Christian prayer printed on it, which Christians incorporate as part of their daily Advent devotions. Advent calendars may also have puzzles and games printed on their reverse side.

Dye sublimation printing can reproduce
images on a variety of flexible and rigid substrates, which can endure the
amount of heat, pressure and dwell time necessary for image transfer. With two
primary areas of focus, including sublimation to textiles/soft fabrics as well as
rigid substrates, dye sublimation enables the production of items such as
point-of-sale applications, banners, custom flags, license plates, snowboards
and promotional pieces.

Make one yourself
If you would prefer to give your children a real Advent calendar / christmas calender then you should try a gift calendar which contains small gifts. But keep in mind that the gifts don’t have to be expensive. The surprise and joy of opening the gift is often most important for children.
Homemade christmas calender
Three simple calendars which you can make yourself:
1. Cut out an oblong piece of cloth approximately 1 ½ meters long and 25 centimeters wide. Embroider small Christmas characters on the cloth and attach 24 small curtain rings for hanging gifts.
2. Gather 24 cardboard toilet paper tubes. Arrange and glue them horizontally to form a pyramid-shape. Cover the toilet paper tube pyramid with cloth and place small angles to complete the pyramid effect. The hole in each of the rolls is used for hiding a gift.
3. Collect 24 big matchboxes and glue them together on top of each other. Decorate with clothing and angels. Each matchbox now serves as a small drawer for hiding a gift in the christmas calender.
When you make a Christmas calendar for your children, you carry on an old tradition at the same time.
