The first advent calendar printed in Germany after the end of War II, the Richard Sellmer family presented then General Eisenhower with this nostalgic depiction of a peaceful town at Christmastime. Accurately reprinted from the original design which is still in this family firm's archives, you too can enjoy counting down the days until Christmas Eve using this historic advent calendar. Made with charming pictures hidden behind each numbered window, if you set it in front of a light source, the revealed pictures glow like tiny stained glass windows! Accented with silver glitter, the extra-large, fold-open advent calendar measures 27½" wide by 8½" high. Printed in Germany.
