World's Greatest Advent Calendar

Advent Calendars are always fun for kids and adults but mostly for kids. Here in Germany, Advent calendars are very popular. In the stores there can be hundreds of styles to choose from. Some calendars are pretty and colorful with just a little quotation of some sort behind each of the twenty-four doors. Others are a little more extravagant with a small toy or some candy behind the doors. As I mentioned, even though it’s great fun for parents to watch their children open the Advent calendar door each day, it’s really a kid thing . . . but not anymore.

I guess it’s not surprising that here, in Germany, someone got the idea to combine Advent calendars with beer. We bought a rather heavy Advent calendar the other day which is produced by Bitburger. What an exciting concept.  Here’s a video of the opening of our first Advent calendar door on the first of December.

I'm sure you're as excited as we were to see just what was behind the first door of the Bitburger Advent Calendar. Watch and be amazed at the wonderful German Christmas experience.

Could it be that all twenty-four doors have a beer behind them? Wow!!  As Jeff said, twenty-four advent doors, twenty-four beers in a case. Is it coincidence? Well, we'll let you know how it all comes out.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
