The Christmas Calendar

The first Danish Christmas calendar  was produced in 1932, but the idea was older. It was developed in Germany in 1903. Behind the doors were drawn motifs related to Christmas.
It was not until the 1960s that the chocolate Christmas calendars were found on the markets. 
Today, most Christmas Calendars have candy, chocolate or some other sweets behind the door.
A calendars can be made of paper, or sewn. It is always interesting to see how a new season brings out new ideas...

This is a picture of a calendar I embroidered for a friend.

Den første danske julekalender, af denne slags, blev fremstillet i 1932, men ideen var ældre. Den blev opfundet i Tyskland i 1903. 
Bag lågerne var der tegnede motiver med relation til julen.
Først i 1960'erne var chokoladejulekalenderne at finde på markederne. De fleste julekaleendere har i dag, slik eller andet sødt bag lågen. En kalender kan være fremstillet af pap eller endog være broderet. Det er altid intersant, hvert år, at se hvilke nye tiltag der er omkring julekalenderen.
