Very minor nitpick, but just for information's sake: the days of advent are the sundays before Christmas. Ie. third of advent is the 15th. I initally thought you were doing 'days of Christmas', but that's the days *after* Christmas, ie. until New Year. I think there's no better word for your numbering than days of December, which sadly doesn't sound very seasonal... ;)

Christians in my area usually have a kind of crown made of pine with 4 candles on it and they light a new candle each Sunday before xmass. So basically the last Sunday before xmass you have 4 candles lightened, in case you still don't get how this works.

So Advent of bugfixes seems to be theologically correct. :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advent [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advent_calendar |

Correct, advent is the whole timespan. But the specific syntax "third of advent" or "3. advent" usually refers to the third sunday.

What I mean is "day in an advent calendar" - there are 24 of them. I don't know, how to express this more clearly in english... Any ideas?

Advent calendar door opening, day 1. I guess?
Or just: day 1, day 2, day 3…
But I think everybody understood what you wrote, so… *shrug*

Yes, it was completely clear. I just wanted to point it out. Sorry for the mess.
