Homesmiths Christmas Gonk Advent Calendar

Product Details

An Advent calendar helps countdown the days until Christmas, usually with a small item or devotional phrase that is revealed on each day. Homesmiths Christmas Gonk Advent Calendar, like traditional calendars are an amalgamation of rectangular boxes you can hang on the wall or sit on a table with small sealed doors or windows meant to be opened in order on each day of Advent. Since the date of the First Sunday of Advent varies, falling between November 27 and December 3 inclusive, most of Advent calendars begin on December 1; so does Homesmiths' calendar.

These Christmas Gonk Advent Calendars from Homesmiths are made from Ceramic, unlike the commonly available wooden or cardboard ones. Ceramic material gives them a premium, glossy sheen and get-up. Shaped like a village- home with a small chimney, these calendars are colored in festive shades of Christmas- Santa Red, pine- green and snow-white, with a dash of midnight blue, grey, etc. Twenty four sections (windows) representing each date from the 1st till the 24th of December are made in this calendar. Each window is meant to be opened in order on each day of Advent. It contains a small item or devotional phrase that is revealed on each day. This spreads good thoughts, sanctity and eagerness and builds up a "warm up- momentum" as Christmas draws nearer.

These calendars contain images/ prints of a Gonk (egg-shaped doll with frizzy hair) in them. There is more to these Christmas Gonks (bearded little Santa doppelgangers) than mere decoration. Traditionally, these festive little characters are believed to protect farms and homes from catastrophes and misfortune. They are considered symbols of protection and good omen. Thus, this Christmas Gonk Advent Calendar has everything that you look for, to build up towards Christmas traditionally. Bring home this auspicious tradition!
