Advent calendars
Christmas countdown charts
Advent calendars are calendars counting down the days until Christmas, typically from December 1st through the 24th.
The traditional form has small doors or windows to open each day, revealing a picture, piece of chocolate, or small gift.
Originally a Christian devotional aid marking the Advent season, they've become secular holiday items: The kids race downstairs each morning to open their Advent calendar.
Modern versions range from cheap cardboard with chocolates to elaborate affairs with cosmetics, toys, or craft beer behind each door.
