Typically there are 25 items, one for each day of December from the 1st to 25th (Christmas Day)...Often the days are each done differently with the final one (Christmas Day) being the focal one (larger, more ornate, only one decorated, different shape maybe). They may be set up so each can contain a small treat (such as a peppermint candy) or instead they may be designed so that each one is in a big pocket at the bottom and can be inserted into a small pocket for each day. I have also seen ones that are just the cute design for each day.
