   This impressive German advent calendar is extra tall at 23.5 inches!  Angels delight a wintry village delivering Christmas mail by air in this detailed paper advent calendar.  Children sled through the town's snow-covered roads bringing cheer, carolers sing while patrons shop the Christkindlmarket wares.  The nearby wildlife has come to watch the hustle and bustle of the town preparing for Christmas.  
  The original art for this calendar, was designed by Dieter Klein
    The tradition of the advent calendar dates back to 1851 in the Protestant parts of Germany. The first advent calendar with little doors was printed in the early 1900's and continues today.
    This calendar was printed in Germany, by the Korsch-Verlag Co., near Munich. Founded by Adolf Korsch Verlag in 1951.  Carefully selected motifs have been published every year, imaginatively down to the smallest detail, exclusively and lovingly illustrated by the artist's hand, accompanying you through the most beautiful time of the year.
    The detailed picture has 24 little doors to open. Each door has a little picture behind it. The tradition is to open one door each day from December 1 thru December 24. Children love to open a door a day as they count down to Christmas.
