Every Christmas, when I bought my kids advent calendars,  I wished Diwali had a similar tradition. Now I can say  it does.  Starting on Dussehra (October 1), you can now Countdown to Diwali™ with a calendar that brings the story and spirit of the festival to life—day by day. Perfect gift  for kids, college students away from home, or anyone who wants to celebrate the season in a special way. Order before September 20 to receive before October 1!

• Begin the festive countdown on Dussehra (October 1) through Diwali
• 24 doors, each with a scene from the Diwali story
• Each day, open a door to find a collectible story card that shares part of the Diwali story
• Fill your own treats-extra space inside each compartment so you can add your own sweets, trinkets, diyas, mithai, or surprise
