There is an item in the Movie National Lampoons Christmas vacation, I have seen in other films as well with it. It basically is a model of a house of sorts with many windows with dates that you open one at a time counting down to christmas. Does anyone know what this is called?

There are many variations of the "Countdown to Christmas" item you are referring to....you can even get them with little chocolates hidden behind each date. There are usually 25 days to open.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I know what you are talking about! I haven't seen that movie in 2 years, but I remember they open up a door here and there throughout the movie, like at chapter intervals.
Hmmm. I need to research this!
Ok, I found the exact house from the movie:

There are more links and a photo at the bottom of that page.
and I found this link to other type of Christmas Advent Calendars:

Hope that helps!

I think they are called an advent calander, you can buy them with chocolate in them for every day before Christmas. You can find them just about anywhere.

I believe you may be referring to an Advent Calendar.

try the following : Figis, Wal-mart, K - mart, Spencers, Mejyrs, Sears, J.C.Pennys, Target, would suggest you use the telephone in hunting this item rather than running all over.

It is called an Advent Calendar, and you can probably find one in a Catholic bookstore.
