Eva, I don’t expect you’ll start seeing Advent calendars for another month. You’ll want to search for “advent kalendar”. Try Amazon.com or amazon.de.

I love these calendars, we always had them as children. Now I cannot find them at all where I live (in Norway). They are always filled with candy or from a tv show or something. Do you know of any German web sites I can order them from? Or just let me know what they are called in German and I will search for them myself?

My mother-in-law, who is German – she came to the states as a married woman with two children, gives these to the grandsons each Christmas (although she missed last year – I’m not sure why). So it’s been a wonderful tradition in our household for the boys.

Ah I love those things! In high school our German club would sell those in the fall with the candy sale and we’d always get one. And I don’t know if it truly was German chocolate, but I’ve picked one up at the store instead and the chocolates paled in comparison. Mmm I miss German candy sales. :)

I love advent calendars. They were my favorite part of the season growing up. Usually they had a little toy inside, not candy.

I bought mine at the World Market for $.99. It isn’t the best one I’ve ever had…actually, probably the worst, but I’m here in spirit! :) I was totally looking forward to some great German Chocolate too, but unfortunately it tastes a bit like plastic…
