Advent calendar for actual Advent

Has anyone ever seen an Advent calendar that actual covers Advent as opposed to just 1-24 December?

I.e. one for this year that starts 29 November. There are lots that have Christian themes but even those still just cover the standard 1-24 December dates.

Thinking about making a reusable one but not sure I'm quite creative enough! And definitely not got time for this year.

I think it would be difficult as each year Advent start differently.

The calendar is actually a German invention and more to count the days to Christmas than covering the Advent itself as we have the advent wreath for this which starts on the first Advent Sunday.

All true. I know it would be far more expensive for companies to have a different calendar each year (or every 6 years or so depending on leap years I suppose) rather than it's a template they can keep reprinting but I'd have thought someone would be marketing one somewhere.

Might try to make a wreath this year too but I fear it will end up looking a bit shite!
