Don't let the little picture on this website fool you! When this advent calendar first arrived from Germany, even we were amazed at how big it is: a whopping 21 1/2" tall x 16 1/2" wide. By far our largest advent calendar. The scene depicts forest gnomes going about their days through all four seasons of the year: spring at the top, then summer below, and autumn, then a nighttime snowy winter scene at the bottom. There is glitter throughout: clear and green glitter, rather than the usual silver. Super sturdy; the scene is printed on both sides of the calendar, though the doors to open are only on the front. It's a beauty! Made in Germany.
