Event Kalendar
Make an Event Kalendar for use throughout the year. It is typically a wooden box that has 31 numbered cubbyholes, each with a short sleeve attached to it - so that you can't peek into it before the day of reaching in and grabbing what's inside. Each day, starting from the beginning of the mensis (month) before the Solis Festivitas (solar festivity) to the Solis Festivitas proper, you reach in and grab what's inside. Usually it involves an activity (especially those that are seasonally relevant) and sometimes a treat or toy, or an item to help you start the makings of a seasonal craft, treat or toy.
Event Kalendar Length
For Transmensis Solis Festivitas (solar festivities of transition months: Feliformia, Anura, Ciconii, and Artiodactyla) the Event Kalendar has the cubbyholes filled and sleeves out for the first 15 days of the mensis, and the rest are empty with the sleeves tucked in. For the Solis Mensis (solar months - months that are adjacent to the solar event: equinoxes and solstices) the Event Kalendar begins on the beginning of the mensis prior to the Solis Festivitas, sometimes with the last cubbyhole empty and sock tucked in for the shorter mensis.
Event Kalendar Activities
Most of the first day activities revolve around getting the supplies for the Solis Festivitas, with the next few days involving the making of items to be ready before the Solis Festivitas. Most commonly are greeting cards made and sent out, and getting in touch with folks you want to have the event with. Shortly after that it is decorating for the Solis Festivitas, then making food stuffs for the event and sharing some with neighbors. Interspersed with games or a "game day" (such as a start paper for a scavenger hunt to a gift), treats, playing (seasonal recreation: building a snowman, snowball fight, kite flying, swimming, building a fort, sports etc.), "movie night", and going out for some entertainment and fun. On the last day you dress in seasonal costume and celebrate.
