Nuestros compañeros de Tener Clase se pasean continuamente por las tiendas de moda más prestigiosas del mundo. Concretamente un post que nos llevaba a la parisina Colette nos ha dado la idea para hacer este post. En Colette hemos visto un Advent Calendar for sale that has surprised us quite a bit.
An Advent calendar consists of about twenty-odd boxes that are equal to the days until Christmas arrives. Advent begins four Sundays before December 25, Christmas Day. Today is precisely the first day of Advent. Those boxes on the calendar usually bring a message or a surprise every day.
From the American brand Dylan's Candy, the calendar we have seen is a little blue house with 24 windows that if we open them every day we will find different chocolate bars inside. Perhaps these types of calendars are a way of getting children used to rationing themselves and making the children's impatient wait until Christmas sweeter. In Recetín We know that children are very inventive and can make a fantastic calendar without making adults spend the 130 euros that Dylan's Candy costs.
En Recetín We are going to worry more about the content of the calendar, that is, what we are going to eat, than about its design itself. Advent calendars are increasingly easier to find in toy or multi-price stores, but we have found one very easy and inexpensive to do. It is take a board and put as many glasses as the days of Advent of the current year. We glue each glass to the board, we throw the surprise and cover it with paper pinocchio or colored rice and we number it so that we can easily break it day by day.
But what delicacies to put on the calendar? Well we can put chocolates of candied fruits o nuts homemade, the cold autumn will not make them sick. We can also do cupcakes or cookies small and bathe them with our white frosting. We can also put stuffed puff pastry rolls or some cheese.
Products that are dough such as cakes can last fresh if they are well covered for about five days but we can freeze them in airtight bags and fill in the calendar little by little without the little ones noticing.
A healthier calendar option is the one we have found by searching the internet. It is a plastic tube filled with apples so that we can spend a light and healthy Advent. So don't forget to pack some strawberries!
