Selection of joulukalenteri at Stockman
The traditional 'adventtikalenteri' or 'joulukalenteri', created first by the Germans, consists of two pieces of cardboard on top of each other. Twenty four doors are cut out in the top layer, with a number ranging from one to twenty four on each. Beginning on the first day of December, one door is opened each day, counting down the days remaining until 'Joulu Aatto', from twenty four to one... Familiar to all of you I'm sure (however some of you are used to the 25 door -system)... Get into the habbit of checking this web site every morning and Finnish Christmas wonders will be brought to you!
P.S. Is there Santa Claus himself behind the calenders doing some Christmas shopping for the Mrs Claus?

what about all the joulukakalenterit with the chocolate pieces behind each door? :) i had one every year so far. nowadays i have seen even joulukalerit with salmiakki, jelly figures and surprise eggs ;)
i actually do not understand the part with "counting down the days remaining until 'Joulu Aatto', from twenty four to one" usually it is counted up from one to twenty four or have i done it wrong.. all the years??? ;)
Yes that's the problem with a blog advent calendar - no chocolate.
And trust Konna to do everything backwards...
