One of the "sweetest" adult christmas calendars I have seen is my old neighbor wife's December gift to her husband, 24 different beers opkængt in red tape on the banister to the first floor of their Hasseris Villa.

Kalenderlys
The right to own light, and the right to beg light, has been secured through our history. The small tælleprås was precious, and you saved it when you were in possession of it. Christmas was the time of year where you took the liberty of waste a light if it were possible. From Mon bade welcome the Christmas season and until they put out the candle holders again by Epiphany.

The tradition of a kalenderlys equipped with 24 brands, from the first to 24 December, emerged in this country during the 1930s. Initially, the lights homemade on the German model, or there was talk about direct import from the south. Only as late as 1942 began light AspHolmblad factory producing candles bearing the date selection. Advent Calendar on radio and television

During the 1960 's, the traditional Advent calendar overtaken, first by radio and later television's Christmas calendars. The tradition of Christmas calendar media came to us from Sweden and the start went on Swedish radio in 1956. Four years later, the Swedes also a TV Christmas calendar. In Denmark, the Danish Broadcasting sending Christmas calendar at the same time, both in radio and television. It happened in 1962 with doll calendar "Christmas Stories from around the world" and the tradition has remained ever since. The first year dominated puppet films in 1967 produced children's and youth department at the Danish Broadcasting a television advent calendar with the doll Magnus Tagmus, and the success was so violent that it wound up first in the Radio Board and later in parliament. Because of a large sale and the accompanying door calendar and because of the Danish Radio monopoly, accused the graphic arts DR as acting competition. After much political drum dance was a little strange solution that future gate calendars were cleaned for Christmas designs - on the front (!) And the word 'Advent Calendar' was changed to the more neutral »Children's D Iandskalender '.

From 1990 TV2 has sent a televised Christmas calendar. They have not just sent one, but two series each year. The one for children and the other for adults. TY2 also has its door calendar, and the proceeds from the sale of it goes to the Christmas Seal Foundation and the sale thus support the four Christmas Seal, which the Fund operates.
