Sorry for the late reply!
My original blog post is a technical article about a new Nostr client and has nothing to do with the Advent calendar in the Christian tradition.
In Japan, programmers have a unique culture where we use the term 'Advent Calendar' to refer to writing one blog post each day in December. This practice is completely detached from its original religious background, so I understand why it might feel strange. Here, Advent Calendars are seen more as a fun, month-long event unrelated to Christianity.
Of course, in school, we learn about Japan's religious history, such as the Shimabara Rebellion, and there are indeed devout Christians in Japan. However, Christians make up only about 1–2% of the population, and many Japanese people don’t know much about Christianity. As a result, some people might not even realize that the term 'Advent Calendar' originates from a Christian tradition.
