Lynn S. M. Those early-opening warnings are hysterical.
I'll put the spoiler warnings in this thread, so everyone can read them again if they want. I put them in in case anyone would be peeking.
When I was trying to figure out how to create the calender I realized that using spoilers would be perfect, though I couldn't be sure that everyone just read one story, as I intended. Those warnings are there to make sure everyone has something to enjoy until the time is right.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
BlindPassengerIf the story is half as fun as these, count me in for the ride!
I tried to keep a mostly light and fun tone with the stories, I hope you'll like them.

You can open the first door now.
bakasi I've considered doing this as well, but never got around to actually starting an advent calendar.
I have wanted to do this for years but never got around to doing it, but this year I had the right ideas, I've had barely enough time to put everything togeher so I can't guarantee that there won't be mistakes in spelling/grammar/flow of the stories or with the traditions I used.
I only know about the "Weihnachtsgurke" from a friend who went to college in Würzburg, it seems to be more common in that area. As far as I know it is not a very well-known tradition, I think it is fun and can recommend it - as long as you don't have someone with superpowered vision in your family.
If anyone is interested I have posted recipe's for the "Plätzchen" I mentioned in the Discord (with american ingredients and measurements).
