    In Germany and the northern European countries it is a nice tradition to give children advent calendars with 24 small surprises for every day in December until the 24th. Nowadays, this is becoming increasingly popular all over the world, even among adults.

    To honour this tradition I am going to do something special on my vendor Solveig in Britt Mart (middle aisle, right side when coming from the docks).

    For every day from the 1st to the 24th of December, Solveig will have a different sheet music for just 250 gold a piece. These will mainly be christmas carols, but also the occasional festive classical piece of music, all of them carefully arranged for use in SotA. Every day between 1am and 7am all unsold music sheets of the previous day will be removed and a new song added.

    All sheets that have not been sold on "their" day will be added on the vendor again on December 25th, but then at the regular price of 1k gold.

    Between today and Sunday you also have the opportunity to pre-order the Musical Advent Calendar for yourself or as a nice surprise for a loved one. Just send 6k gold to Helvig Ingvildsdottir, along with the name of the recepient if it is not the same character that is sending the gold. You will then receive one music sheet every day in your mail (free shipping). Of course if you order on Sunday, you will receive Saturday's and Sunday's music in one shipment.

    Have a wonderful season!

    This has started.

    The first song has been sent to the pre-order subscribers, the first batch deposited on my vendor. Get these songs while they're hot.

    I'm going to update the post above with the songs for the respective days as soon as they are stocked on the vendor.

    Just a reminder: Today is the last day for subscriptions to get the entire Musical Advent Calendar in your mail, one song every day until and including December 24.

    To subscribe, Send 6k gold to Helvig Ingvildsdottir, along with the name of the recipient if it is not the same person that is sending the money.

    Of course those that miss out on the subscription are still able to get the day's song on my vendor Solveig in Britt Mart at only 250 gold a piece, or all of them on Demeber 25 at the regular price of 1k gold a piece.

    These are the most popular traditional English and German/Austrian christmas carols, beautifully arranged for harp, lute or piano in SotA.

    Today is the day when in Germany and Austria Saint Nick comes to reward good children. In southern Germany and Austria he is accompanied by Krampus, a daemonic creature that punishes the bad children. In northern Germany his companion is Knecht Ruprecht.

    To pay my respects to them, today and only today there will be a second song of the day added to my vendor Solveig in the afternoon. So if you stop by in the afternoon of evening, you will find the popular English carol "Joy to the World" and the German song that probably all children are singing today "Lasst uns froh und munter sein".

    @Sindariya message me if you'd like to discuss options for music sheet Christmas presents. Even if you're late for the advent calendar we sure can find a nice solution.

    Today's another German song btw, one of the oldest we know: In dulci jubilo, probably written in 1328 based on an older tune.

    Thank you @Vas Corp Por for mentioning my advent calendar on last night's livestream! What an honor!

    Contrary to your guess, yesterday's song was not "Here we come awassaling" but the Gloucestershire Wassail, often also simply called "Wassail, wassail" after it's first verse "Wassail, wassail all over the town". It's a lovely tune you can listen to on youtube, if you do not know it.

    Today the last of the 24 songs (+1 surprise extra on Dec 6 Saint Nick's Day) went out to my subscribers. Solveig in Britt Mart also got a few copies for sale at 250 gold a piece. Today's song is Silent Night.

    I'd like to thank everyone that trusted me with this project, and everyone that commented on the quality of my songs. This has been much fun for me!

    Remember, between 1am and 3am on December 25 (tomorrow) I will put all songs that have not sold on their respective days on Solveig at the regular price of my sheet music (which is 1k gold). Go grab one if you need a last minute present for a loved one, or if you are looking for a song to complete your Christmas Carol collection.

    You can also order songs with a special offer of "Buy 4 at the price of 3" (3k gold for four songs), but I will not be able to fill any orders before December 26.
