Danes use Advent calendars and calendar candles to help them count the days until Christmas. Danish calendar candles display a series of numbers down one side. These numbers represent the dates between the beginning of Advent and Christmas Day. The candle is lit each day until the number representing that day melts away. Advent wreaths are also popular in Denmark.
