It's one of our favorite Christmas traditions: the Advent calendar. Every day, from December 1 onwards, we open a new square in our calendar to find a treat, a little gift, something to tide us over until Santa Claus officially arrives.
And as you grow, so does the choice! While purists keep their chocolate calendar, the more daring will be tempted by a naughty Advent calendar, a beer calendar , a beauty calendar, cheeses, teas...
