Looks like a cool project.
I'm just curious about why this is billed as an Advent calendar, when really the only thing it has in common with an Advent calendar is that it terminates on Christmas.
Is there anything about it that has anything to do with Advent, i.e. the Christian liturgical season that precedes Christmas?
- chrxr 8y agoIt's a pretty common thing to call something "Advent of x" or "x Advent calendar" nowadays, if it involves something happening once each day between 1st and 25th of December.
