Advent calendars

Can you still get old fashioned advent calendars any more? The paper ones, I mean, with a different picture behind each door leading up to a big double door on Christmas Eve with a nativity scene behind it. Nowadays the only calendars I can find have uniformly grotty lumps of a brown substance which is not quite but almost completely unlike chocolate* squatting behind their doors. However, whichever kind you have, the doors are impossible to open without doing some severe damage to the rest of the calendar...
