Fun Facts
Explanations
- An Advent calendar is used to count the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas.
Trivia
- The Decemberweenvent calendar is from the Scales of an Artist Beginner piano series.
- The scale chart on Day 1 reads "Crispy Duck Eggs For Goodness And Badness, Champ!"
- The update is more stylized than the others, with most characters gaining noses and being drawn in a style loosely resembling Alfred's Basic Piano.
- All of the sheet music (so far) is written and played in the key of C major, and 4/4-time signature.
Remarks
- The instructions on Day 2 say to use your staving fingers to play this kids' learn-em-up song.
- The instructions on Day 3 show how to play piano with boxing gloves on.
- The keys for Day 1 are clickable, but do nothing.
Inside References
- "Scales of an Artist" references Skills of an Artist.
- The Advent calendar is published by Cheap As Free Music.
- "Used to could" is a double modal.
- Strong Mad's stop-motion movie, Doug the Dino from the facts is mentioned on Day 3.
- On Day 3, Strong Bad says he'll look for baking chocolate. Strong Sad says he used to eat baking chocolate when there was no chocolate in the house in The House that Gave Sucky Treats.
- The Skills of an Artist page on Day 3 shows Strong Bad having drawn an "S" and a carton of coffee grinds labeled "Taster's Choice", both of which refer to dragon.
Real-World References
- LEGO has produced Advent calendars, each with 24 doors containing a minifigure or a simple small set, annually since 1998. Recent years have seen multiple calendars released each year, with themes such as Star Wars.
