Where can I find chocolate advent calendars? I had 'em in high school German club, but now I can’t find them for anything. Any ideas?

I just bought two of them at a World Market (chain store). I don’t know how exactly to describe it. Much like a Costco if you know those.  
A lot of knicknacks and glasses and candles and things. And also Christmas stuff now, which is where I found the calendars.

I always get tehm at the German deli near my house. You might try on line if there isn’t a german or Polish deli near you. My mom found them at an italian deli once.

You can find chocolate advent calenders, a different piece of candy behind each date, at Hallmark card stores. They won’t start selling them until the end of this month.
