The tradition originated in Germany in the middle of the 19th century, but the exact origin can no longer be traced. Although the Advent calendar originated in Germany, you can get them almost everywhere nowadays. Even before the First World War, Advent calendars were exported to England and later to the USA.
Even at home in England, the typical German tradition is not to be missed. This year I treated myself to a tea Advent calendar. A new surprise every morning - simply delicious.
Your Alicia
England always fascinates me with its old traditions. This year, too, the Dickens Christmas Festival is being held in honour of the writer Charles Dickens. I fondly remember my last visit in winter 2014. Surrounded by elegantly dressed English people in Victorian style, only one person stands out.
As you can see, the English love to dress up. On 04 and 05 December, you can slip into your favourite novel character and take part in the parade. Highlights include the Christmas market, the parade of the "Seven Poor Travellers" and the closing open-air Christmas concert.
How I'd love to fly to Rochester right now,.
Have you also got the urge?
