π 1. Reading: Counting the Days
The Advent Calendar is a very popular Christmas tradition in many countries. It helps children (and adults!) count the days until Christmas.
The calendar starts on December 1st. It usually looks like a colorful box or a picture. It has 24 small doors or windows. Each door has a number on it, from 1 to 24.
Every morning, you open one door. Behind the door, there is a small surprise. In the past, the surprise was just a nice picture. Today, most calendars have a piece of chocolate inside! Some expensive calendars even have toys or beauty products.
The last door, number 24, is opened on Christmas Eve. It is a fun way to get excited for the holiday!
