In the United Kingdom, as well as in some other countries, the main celebrations for Christmas take place on the 25th December. Advent calendars (calendarios del adviento/de la navidad) are very popular with lots of children and are used to count down the days before christmas. For every day in December, children have to open a ´window´ of their calendar and behind each window, they find a christmas picture, or a chocolate!
The advent calendar is said to have originally been a German invention but is now poular in many countries all over the world.
This Giant advent calendar in Friedrichsfehn, Germany, was the biggest of it´s kind back in 1998!
Next week, in school we will start learning some Christmas songs and Christmas carols (villancicos), in English!
