Item arrived late and it wasn’t the one I ordered
Sadly I was so disappointed that this arrived late, then even more disappointed that when it arrived it was the wrong calendar picture!! The advent calendar itself is very cute and depicts a traditional British church and carol singing scene. Just sad I didn’t select this image as o am British living in America I originally ordered the Westminster one with the traditional London red bus and black taxi!

CUTE
Overall, a nicely illustrated piece of cardboard. Would need to add holes and a string to hang, or perhaps, some felt on the back to attach to a felt board. The numbered "doors," one to be opened each day, can be opened to reveal various illustrations of a Christmas theme, Snowman, Holly, etc. The doors are perforated on one side so be careful. As I said, cute.

Lovely Calendar!
The doors were a bit difficult to open sometimes, but overall it was a perfectly lovely advent that made my British mom very happy!

British themed and perfect
Beautiful advent calendar. I enjoyed the fun artwork and opening the little doors each day. It was British themed exactly like I wanted.
