#2019聖誕節日曆精選 / Best Advent Calendars 2019 (for English, please click "see more")
大家還記得幾個禮拜前，我曾經分享過今年巴黎的聖誕節蛋糕嗎？聖誕節蛋糕是聖誕節餐桌上的高潮，但是在聖誕節前呢？你知道還有讓你每天都有驚喜、#快樂倒數聖誕節來臨的「聖誕節日曆」嗎？
聖誕節日曆又稱「#降臨節日曆」（Calendrier de l’Avent（法） / Advent Calendar（英）），最早出現在19世紀的德國路德教派。為了紀錄耶穌降臨前的日子，當時的人們會每天用粉筆在門上畫線、或每天點一支新蠟燭、掛上新的宗教畫等。後來演變為有教育意義的聖誕節日曆，例如在印有聖徒故事的背景圖上標出 24 個日期、每個日期縫上小口袋，每天打開一個，直到 12 月 24 日拼成完整的圖像；或是在上色的木盒中裝上 24 個小禮物、寫上小故事的一部份、猜一個謎語等。到了現代，不管是美妝、玩具、或是巧克力、糖果、甜點品牌等，都會製作精美無比的聖誕節日曆，以往家長會買給小朋友、現在也是很多大人會購買、搜集的商品，是歐洲聖誕季的熱門活動。
可以想像因為要擺上幾乎一整個月，所以如果是食品品牌出的聖誕節日曆，會選一些比較能夠久放的產品，這也是為什麼聖誕節日曆大部分是巧克力與茶品牌的天下，畢竟巧克力、牛軋糖、焦糖、各種糖果、小餅乾、茶葉等，都比甜點更適合小包裝、長時間常溫存放。如同聖誕節蛋糕是甜點主廚們的競技場，聖誕節日曆也是巧克力品牌廝殺的戰場之一。每個品牌都使出渾身解數，推出讓小朋友們心癢難耐、大人們也忍不住心潮澎湃的作品。
點照片一起來欣賞一下吧！👉🏻👉🏻

Do you still remember the incredible Christmas cake (yule log / bûche de noël) creations the Parisian pastry chefs proposed for the coming Christmas? Can’t wait to have one on your Christmas dinner? Do you know there’re actually some more surprises to accompany you while counting down the days? Have a look on these gorgeous Advent calendars!
An Advent calendar is a special calendar that we use to count down the days of Advent (Latin: coming) in anticipation of Christmas. Ideally it should start from the first Sunday of Advent, which normally falls between 27th November and 3rd December, but for the reason of convenience, most Advent calendars nowadays start from 1st December and lasts 24 days till Christmas Eve. The Advent calendar was first used by German Lutherans in the 19th and 20th centuries. Traditional Advent calendars features Nativity scenes of Jesus, Saint Nicolas, or religious artworks. They come in different forms, such as fabric pockets on a background of a religious painting that reveals the entirety after 24 days, or painted wooden boxes with cubby holes filled with small objects to discover. Advent calendars in the present day have become a wonderful gift for children and adults alike each year. Brands of perfumes, makeup, toys, chocolate and confectionery, etc. would propose well-designed Advent calendars enclosing little surprises made of their signature products or featured items.
With regard to confectioneries, it is no surprise that those who propose Advent calendars are mostly chocolatiers, confiseries, or tea makers, as bonbons, chocolates, caramels, teas, etc. could conserve longer than fresh pastries. I’ve selected some of my favorite Advent calendars this year to share with you. Click on the photos and let’s have a closer look together! 👉🏻👉🏻
