[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hate to say this, but I'm a Christian and I find your attitude a little offensive. Advent calendars are not "cultural symbols." Advent is a holy time in the Christian faith, counting down the weeks until the birth of the savior. Churches celebrate each Sunday in a special way. Sorry, but to me, this is on par with the "cultural appropriation" whining that liberals love to do.[/quote] And the advent calenders you see in stores are not religious and do not even follow advent. I would do either a series of eight different small boxes decorated with things like dreidles or menorahs with a small treat in each one, or a countdown like pp mentioned above, from Dec 1st through Hannukah.[/quote] Why December 1st, and not the first day of Kislev? Heck, why not just count the date in Kislev, till you get to Hanukkah on the 25th (yes!) of Kislev? PP is already so assimilated they don't even know how assimilated they are. [/quote]
