PTT Advent Calendar Dec. 6

The origins of the Advent calendar come from German Lutherans who, at least as early as the early 19th century, counted down the days until the celebration of the Nativity of Christ with chalk outlines on doors starting December 1.

The first known Advent calendar was handmade in 1851 with the first printed calendar appearing in 1902 in Hamburg. But it wasn't until 1908 that Gerhard Lang of Munich made 24 little colored pictures that attached to a piece of cardboard. Soon after, he created a calendar outfitted with 24 doors that could be opened one day at a time - the birth of today's modern advent calendar.

Today, most advent calendars are made for children. But who says adults can't have a little fun too? From that, Pink Trash Travels will be counting down the days until Christmas - featuring all those items the Pink Trash Traveler would like to find in his stocking. Some naughty. Some nice. But all fun!
