Our kids get a calendar full of secular Lego bits for the upcoming solstice, Saturnalia, Sol invictus, Yule, or other midwinter festival. We made them ourselves, with 24 numbered pouches (each with a velcro flap).
Yeah, I know that starting on 1 December there should generally be only 21 pouches to reach the solstice, 23 for Saturnalia, and 25 for Yule and Sol invictus, but kids here expect to get prezzies on 24 December, so that's when the calendar ends.

That's beautiful. Are the pouches mounted on a backboard? Have you posted pics anywhere?
My lady stax & I are also crafters and currently doing hand felted items. We're going to have to riff on your idea for next season.
