Nord Invasion - Advent calendar 2024

Hello dear NI friends,
I would like to warmly invite you all to join a small community project: the Advent calendar 2024.
The goal is to revive our community spirit a little. And what better way to do that than through giving and receiving!

After all, as the saying goes:
“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”

So let us, as a small but enduring community, use this heartfelt advent season to create something together and grow closer once again.

For those of you who don't know what is an advent calendar about:
An "Advent calendar" is a special nordic / christian tradition that helps people count down the days leading up to Christmas, starting on December 1st and ending on December 24th. The calendar usually has 24 small doors or windows, each hiding a surprise, such as a piece of chocolate or an inspirational message. This simple act of opening a new door each day is meant to bring excitement, joy, and a sense of anticipation for the holiday.

The deeper meaning behind an Advent calendar is to teach values such as patience, kindness, and generosity. It encourages us to reflect on the spirit of giving, as it’s a time to appreciate the little moments and share joy with others. Many people use this time to spend quality moments with their family, friends, and communities, strengthening bonds and creating memories.
This tradition also connects us to the larger message of Christmas: the importance of helping those in need. It’s about spreading love and offering support to others. By donating to this cause, you’re helping bring hope and happiness to those who might not have much to celebrate this season. Your contribution can directly impact others, making their holiday season brighter and more joyful. We invite you to be part of this meaningful gesture of giving, just as Advent calendars help us focus on the spirit of generosity.

How does it work?
