Count down the days to Christmas with the melodious sounds of the season! Our unique Musical Advent Calendar—featuring glitter-enhanced artwork of a beautiful European mansion in full festive spirit—hides a special treat behind the little numbered windows and doors. Simply press on the old-fashioned musical scene revealed by each opening to play a lively 40-second audio snippet from one of twenty-four different Christmas carols. (Press again to stop or restart your selection.) The German-designed calendar features international favorites including cross-cultural standards ("Jingle Bells," "The First Noel," "Silent Night") as well as those less familiar to Americans; "Snow Falls Softly at Night," "In Sweet Rejoicing," "From Heaven Above to Earth". What a unique way to celebrate the magic of the holiday! Oversized calendar measures 20½" x 15", features a ribbon for hanging, and includes 3 replaceable 1.5 volt batteries so the calendar can be enjoyed year after year.
